We’re two days out from our camping trip and today we’re putting all the finishing touches on packing. Thursday morning we’ll be filling up our coffee mugs, loading up and heading out. This big annual trip actually takes place on an island (in the Thousand Islands along the St. Lawrence River) so while we have …
Friends! It’s camping week! I am so damn excited for our trip later this week that it’s outright ridiculous. I have a feeling I’m going to be pretty distracted over the next few days, kind of like a kid before summer vacation. I’ve loved camping since I was a kid and that love has only …
Hooray for Friday! A week from now we’ll be a day into our annual camping trip with a ton of our family and friends and I seriously can’t even tell you how excited I am. I look forward to this trip all year long and I’m so glad it’s finally almost here! This weekend we’re …
Is anyone else as obsessed with metallic gold temporary tattoos as I am at the moment? This is one of those trends that I think is absolutely amazing and I find myself hoping it sticks around for a long, long time. See, I’m a girl who is regularly awed by beautiful ink work, but ultimately …
I wanted to take a moment to chat with you guys about something slightly different today. Yoga! Specifically, how I used to practice semi-regularly back in college (primarily kripalu) and would love your thoughts and input on starting again. In the area where we live there aren’t a ton of local yoga studio options, making …
Gosh, I love stripes something fierce. And truthfully, while I’m pretty much stripes-obsessed all year long, I particularly love them in the summer months. They have that perfectly preppy feel that I really can’t get enough of during the hot summer months. Paired with denim or linen or chambray, stripes just get the job done …
Happiest Monday to you, friends! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Ours was busy, but so much fun. We went to dinner at a friend’s cottage along the lake, spent yesterday moored out at our favorite swimming hole in the Thousand Islands and just generally tried to soak up every bit of summer that …
Every year around this time I profess my love for all things blueberry. Today that entirely expected rhetoric continues. We’re heading to a friend’s housewarming party at their new summer home this evening so I have a dessert to prep. While it won’t be blueberry in nature (I’m actually bringing my no-bake Oreo peanut butter …
When I went glamping with Skinny Cow to kick off the summer, one of the best parts was all of the yummy Skinny Cow ice cream and candy that followed us wherever we went. Always the fan of classic summer s’mores, you can bet that the chocolate candies piled high on trays near the campfire …
When I shared my boozy summer snow cones earlier in the week, I promised you a DIY tutorial for making the snow cone holder that B and I made. This little project is one that is so much fun and could be adapted for all kinds of uses, but it’s definitely pretty awesome for holding …
This post was sponsored by Seagram’s Espaces. Thank you for supporting the sponsors that so generously help The Sweetest Occasion keep the party rockin’! Snow cones. Is there anything more delicious and refreshing during the hot summer months? I’m thinking pretty much no. Which is why I am so excited to have teamed up with the folks …
Hi, everyone, and happy Monday to you, friends! I hope everyone had an awesome weekend. I got to spend some time with my beautiful nieces who are in town visiting from Florida for the week and there’s nothing I love more than that. This week I have a couple of fun DIY ideas in store …
