Can I just say....


Can I just say....
I LOVE SUMMER!

Its my birthday season, its hot summer days and cool summer nights, its bbq meals, its outdoor swimming, its 4th of July...one of my favorite holidays, its time spent with family, vacation getaway time, Its soaking up the sun on long jogs or just playing outside by the pool, its happy "beach" music, its bright colors and for me.....THE BEST TIME OF YEAR!

I have been in heaven with the beginning of summer in full gear. Yes, it has been very hot here already(100+ degrees)but beyond the constant sweating, I couldn't be more happy. I'm in love with the fact that we get to beat the heat in about a month to venture up to WA for some great getaway time and lots of great things planned with family. But until then we are loving the summer dessert down here and all it has to offer with an array of outdoor pools, some great girl time with our kids just hangin poolside, bike rides, jogs, great movies, fun playtime with my sweet kids, and exploring the area as a family.

Life is great and boy am I grateful for the simple pleasures of each day that make me smile. I am so excited for my sweet treat coming up this weekend....on the menu, chocolate brownie cupcakes with vanilla frosting that I have been eyeing at Costco now for 3 weeks. Its amazing how dessert is such a treat and so exciting....I love how it is no longer an ordinary part of my day. (well, yes, I've had my days of totally wanting to give in and have just one cookie or one bowl of ice cream, but I'm staying strong and holding through). it all sounds so extreme but its not about that one little dessert as much as its about my will power and the strength to resist.

Anyway enough of my less sugar "program"....Summer is happiness, Summer is SUNSHINE, Summer is energy and summer is HERE.
