{This Moment} Making Strawberry Ice Cream

{This Moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraodinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Wishing you all a wonderful last weekend of June! xo

Strawberries

As far as June days go they don't get any more glorious than this! xo

They're Back (Again)!

There really is nothing quite as fun as arriving home and finding a bunch of pink flamingos on your lawn! Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Whitemore for this wonderful surprise (and donation to the campership fund)! xo 

Strawberry Social

A little rain and chill wasn't going to keep us (and many others) from enjoying some delicious strawberry shortcake, wonderful music, strawberry picking (though we have plans to go back on Tuesday) and lawn games at our favorite farm! We are New Englanders, after all, and we are a hearty bunch! The strawberry social was truly lovely and we do so hope that it becomes an annual event! xo

A Summer Solstice Treat

Lemonade is a favorite in this house, and like most things we love to make it ourselves! This is our go-to lemonade recipe. Perfect on any summer day, but especially so on Summer Solstice! xo
