Five cheerful things

We had a lovely long weekend spent by the pool, cooking tacos, & hanging out with friends in the backyard. It was sort of hard to get back into the swing of things this morning- Bud & Truett both asked if they had to go to work/school ;) - so I thought I'd look up five reasons to enjoy today. Here they are in no particular order, and hope you are easing back into your weekly routine.

A birthstone bangle. These are so inexpensive and pretty. You could buy one for your own birthday month or the months of your kids/husband.

As the weather gets cooler, so the prices of staying at the beach get cheaper. Last year we took a winter trip to Folly & it was so fun. I can't believe we've not done this before, but here is how to pitch a beach tent with big sticks & some fabric. Head slap! 

Watermelon kiwi La Croix. That's all.

How to make your house smell like fall.

And lastly, a funny sweatshirt for you/us introverts.
