Summer Lovin' ~ Favorite Things

I LOVE SUMMER and everything that comes a long with it!
Here is a little list of my 2011 Favorite Things ~Summer Edition 

Homemade Fresh Fruit Popsicles 

These are so fun and so easy!!

Local Farmers Market every Wednesday 

which is especially great to make this

and This 

(two of my summer favorites)

Smoky Guacamole recipe found here

while we're still on favorite summer food topic... these Salmon Burgers from Costco are Scrumptious! 

A few weeks ago I picked these homemade soaps up at a boutique. Oh my gosh, I LOVE THEM! They are so Summer Fresh smelling. I wished I picked up more... but then found her card and saw that I can order online. hooray! Wisayla soaps and lotions found here

I am also loving the lip balm as well! 

TJ's Shaving Cream is always on my Favorite Things list. I love their shaving cream! 

Once my legs are shaved then it's time for some "Natural Glow" (since my natural glowing white legs are a little too white for the Summer, this stuff is my go-to)!

I am also loving this new spray sun screen from TJ. It feels less greasy than the other spray sunscreens I have used in the past. We are going through sunscreen like we go through milk over here! 

LOVE THIS BLOG! I have been following it for the past two summers and Jill not only gives a great weekly list of fun things to do, but also shares great recipes and cute craft ideas too! 

We love a good after-Summer-activity-milk-shake every so often. A fun Summer Treat! 

This summer I am loving the "Jack Johnson" station on Pandora. Perfect station to listen to during the afternoon of Summer activities drop-offs and pick up's.  

during the Summer my hair is almost always in a messy bun... so I am loving grabbing a hair wrap to dress up the mess! 

To Celebrate Summer Favorite Things my Favorite Hair wraps are on sale here

And my Ultimate Favorite Summer thing is spending the day at the Beach with these three! I LOVE lazy days at the beach playing in the sand and the surf. I loved it as a kid and I love it as a mom!

Give-a-way swap with Becca

Meet Becca. She is darling, sweet, crafty and the cutest newlywed ever! I have known Becca since she was a  little girl. It has been fun to watch her grow up into the darling gal that she is today. I started following Becca's blog a few years ago when she was attending my favorite college of all times BYU-I. I went there and LOVED every second of it! That is where I met Bryant and that is where she met her Derek! That place is magical! I love reading her stories and especially love following her journey as she is lives her dreams. Becca now lives in Arizona in a cute little place (love her posts about decorating) and will be celebrating their year anniversary soon (wow, that went super fast)! 

Not only is Becca darling, she is super talented too! 

How cute are these necklaces she makes!!
