Sunset over the Mighty Mo'

Running out of planters

Patio season is officially open. Thank goodness I had a gift card from Lowe's.

Grill's up!

Trader Joe's is coming to town!

I love Trader Joe's. Strangely enough, they're owned by Aldi, the German company known for their no-frills, off-brand supermarkets. Trader Joe's follows the same idea but with a lot more fun - affordable, choice, organic products (beautifully) packaged under their own brand; awesome treats from around the world (their frozen meals are great, their cheese and yogurt products yummy, but the snacks REALLY make the trip worth it for me); a fun store where employees wear Hawaii shirts and are insanely enthusiastic! And they're spreading around the Midwest! Now Omaha, soon Kansas City!

Mighty Mo'

Flooded Missouri River, Nebraska (and a woodpecker who doesn't care)

Mmmh.

From the Cupcakery down the road. Cupcakeriffic!

Slight double chin...

... but still adorable for his age (aren't we all)!

Playtex Sport Wipes

I was chosen to test these for crowdtap - they are great! I love that they are individually wrapped and have a light, fresh scent. Just right for a humid Kansas summer (right now it's 88F outside, sigh).

Garden Koi

So beautiful, but insanely expensive: uncommongoods' fishy garden decor.

Om Nom Nom

Poundcake, vanilla ice cream, strawberries + a splash of Limoncello = heaven.
