Summer Adventures on the South Shore

Image
Hi, friends! We had quite a fun weekend here on the South Shore. After a busy July 4th on Cape Cod, our weekend was fairly low-key and very relaxing, but, at time same time, we kept ourselves occupied with a number of family adventures, including some old favorites as well as new ones! First up, swimming at the YMCA! We’ve been members for nearly a year now, but had NO IDEA we could use the outdoor pool. It actually used to be a separate Y membership, but now it’s included in the family membership. Woohoo! We were psyched to learn about this benefit, and we’ve visited the pool a ton since! 🙂 Our friends told us about an incredible new flavor at Hornstra Farms, so we obviously needed to check it out. It’s their “birthday cake” flavor with a July 4th spin on it – vanilla ice cream mixed with chocolate cake and red and blue sprinkles. OMG, it was amazing! It’s a limited edition, so if you’re local, make sure you stop by ASAP to try it. I promise, it’s WORTH IT! On Sunday morning,

Anyone who knows me well has seen how much broccoli I eat. It’s one of my go-to sides with chicken or steak at dinnertime. But that doesn’t mean I eat it the same way every day. While roasting is my favorite prep method for broccoli’s flavor, it’s all about the sauces and seasonings, too. One of my favorite ways to punch up broccoli: a sesame ginger flavor. Check it out.

3 days, 3 pool parties

Image
We got in the pool! A few of them actually. ‘Twas the weekend of pool parties. (And yes that’s sunscreen all over my face – lol!) Swim dresses were the theme of the weekend. (This one is old school Title Nine !) Friday On Friday afternoon Mazen and I went to Sarah’s for a 5th of July party (yes that’s a thing!) I didn’t take many pics because my phone was tucked away in my pool bag, but we had loads of fun! I had grilled flatbread and kale pesto and kale salad and half a burger plus a yummy themed cake. Thomas and Birch had a guy’s night at home and he texted me this sweet photo before bedtime. Saturday I went to bed early and got up early to head to ACAC for a special workout class. I look forward to it all week. Came home to baby in jammies + lots of snuggles. { Baby shark jammies. } Brunch I had quiche + berries for a post workout brunch. (And a date with sunbutter + coffee for a preworkout snack.) The mail came with this epic delivery from Winc . I’m good on reds
