wednesday sandlot


we are loving sandlot baseball
such a great mix of kids
and some seriously good coaching
{dad, you would love the coach}

first, our dreamy soccer league
and now this, we are getting spoiled.


p.s.
thank you, virgi!
you are the one who told us about
both soccer & sandlot baseball.

in love with summer


in love with these
{the smell... the taste... that we can just pick them whenever}

in love with eating outside
{salad with black bean burger & fried sage leaves}

in love with our csa
{this week's share has green beans!}

i'm having the best summer in several years.
i am usually sick of the heat & ready for fall.
not this summer.
i don't want it to end.

crayzay for caprese


our very favorite summer salad
insalata caprese
fresh tomatoes
fresh mozzarella
fresh basil
extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper

serve on a big white platter.
al fresco.
with a baguette.
and wine.

here's the caprese we had in florence
{delicious, but i think we make it even better}

are you pronouncing it correctly?
think:
CRAYzay for caPRAYzay.

two inventions from yesterday


1. my macguyver move to save our boat
when we discovered it was missing an air plug.
i found a black balloon on the ground, 
stuck it in the hole, blew it up, 
tied it to the rope that went around the boat
so it wouldn't fall inside, then inflated the boat.
it held for most of the trip,
until i started towing the girls
while they held onto the rope.

2. a really long straw made by emily

{we've known him since he was little}

afterward, we went here for dinner.

good stuff at mrs. meyer's


i love mrs. meyer's.
{and this is not a sponsored post}
i have found that this works for
nearly everything i need to clean.
i dilute it in a spray bottle and use it for:
window, mirrors, floors, counters,
even toilets.
it smells like roses.

basil & lavender are my favorites.

i'm happy to see mrs. meyer's in stores
like target and walmart and winco.
that tells me that folks are catching on.

they have a new video series called
featuring individuals who are creating
community and connectedness to the earth.
see all three videos here.

there is also a giveaway that you should enter:
{last day to enter is july 21}
