why I can't get enough of summer



  • evening walks


  • lazy days at the pool


  • morning jogs with Sadie


  • spending the day at the zoo


  • strawberry picking!


  • spontaneous outings


  • play-dates at the park


Wisconsinites (or ate least my friends and myself) tend to hide out all winter long and the minute spring FINALLY decides to come around, we're out every day enjoying every second of it. We feel like we have to pack all of our fun into these few short months before the cold returns. Last week was no different and on one of those fun filled days we went swimming then picked tons and tons of strawberries at a nearby farm. The next day I learned how to make freezer jam. Not very hard I learned, but it was a first for me! Now my freezer is packed full of delicious strawberry jam and my fridge is still filled with leftover strawberries. I'm running out of ideas on how to use them up!


The craft fair is finally here! all my hard work and preparation will finally be put to the test. It is this saturday, I really hope all goes well.
