    I am not sure we have that many days of summer! Great ideas! We have tried a few but I see many more to put on our summer list! We have an oceanside pool and I hope to spend many days there (even though it will 55 degrees and we need coffee and hot chocolate)

      Thanks Holly! Hello, an oceanside pool sounds ah-may-zing… and a warm drink during the cool summer nights is refreshing! Invite us, mmmkay! (; xoxo
