June has passed and we’ve been trying to soak up the good things. Jesse and I were talking about some of our recent favorites and thought it would be fun to share them with you too!
It’s nice to think about some of the joyful things in life, especially when life feels overwhelming, busy, etc. We’ve had a lot of rain in Vermont, but the sun is starting to shine and we’re ready to enjoy the summer weather. We’d also love to hear what makes you happy right now! Let us know in the comments.
10 things we love about June
Five things about Jesse
summer salad
There is something about summer salads. Now that the Greenmarket in Woodstock is up and running again, I love going for fresh lettuce, fruit and veggies. I can’t wait to have a vegetable garden of my own.I made this the other day with sliced fresh strawberries, avocado, sliced almonds and goat cheese this homemade dressing It couldn’t be easier.
gardening
Speaking of gardens, after saying we would definitely not be doing any landscaping in Vermont this summer, we started multiple landscaping projects because we like to have multiple projects in the works at once (sarcasm). Jokes aside, this thing needed to be done and Craig went all out to start the front landscaping and rear yard.We are planting a perennial garden out front and I found a lot Inspiration on Pinterest. Our main goal is simplicity and low maintenance.I think we learned a lot from All the gardening and planting we do in our RI house. We’ll be planting plants in the ground here soon and I’ll be sharing our process!
Guilty Shampoo and Conditioner
At the end of this winter, my hair is a little bit broken. Dry and flaky, I have a very sensitive scalp and nothing seemed to help until I went back to my old favorite, inner feeling. My scalp has never felt better and my hair is shiny and healthy. Our water is hard and it’s taking its toll on my hair and scalp, and this stuff is so soothing. 11/10 Recommended and Credo is currently 20% off!
happy place
i’m just about finish this rom-com This is perfect beach read! I read a lot at the beginning of the year and then lost motivation so I wanted a light and fun book to start over and this was exactly what I needed. A little angst at times, but it’s a great mix of friendship, romance, love, and sadness.
Organic sheet
I have a few Pact’s New Organic Sheets for Guest Rooms In Rhode Island, then decided to order them for our bedroom in Vermont because they are so comfy. percale sheet set Super soft, yet crisp and cool, perfect for hot sleepers or hot summer nights without air conditioning. I love lying on a comfy bed with fresh sheets, this is the best!
five things about kelly
Water bottle
mother bink baby bottle Has become my new best friend. 18 weeks pregnant, constant headaches, and I can’t drink enough water, but this Bink bottle is amazing. I swear it drank more water than I have in my entire life! Plus, there’s a subtle little water intake tracker on the side to help you keep track of your daily water goals. You won’t regret buying this beautiful bottle, nor the straw and cap, which are sold separately!
romantic comedy
romantic comedy Curtis Sittenfeld’s book was just what I needed to start my summer reading. I love Sittenfeld’s witty writing, unpredictable love story and all the SNL references and intelligence. it’s a romantic comedy I’m looking. I’m starting to feel drained after some lightheartedness over the past few months, but this one was refreshing and fun.This will make Great beach reads this summer!
don’t take it to heart
My husband and I just watched Jennifer Lawrence’s new movie don’t take it to heart It was so much fun on our anniversary. I can’t say it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a great raunchy rom-com, and this one was perfect. Once you get past the semi-creepy premise, you can appreciate the stellar cast and Jennifer Lawrence hilarity. We thought it was pretty humorous, even though we found ourselves among a group of teenagers in the theater who didn’t know much about millennials. It makes date night so much fun.
Banana Zucchini Bread
I did it Banana Zucchini Bread From a health professional earlier this month, I’m about to make it a second time. With summer fast approaching, I’ve been on the lookout for some low-sugar, healthy seasonal recipes that can be delicious for breakfast or as a snack. It’s also gluten free! Everyone in my family loved this and was devoured within days. The second round was exciting.
Taylor Swift Yoga Playlist
Earlier this month, I taught a week of Taylor Swift-inspired yoga and made an epic playlist that I play in all my classes. I’ve been listening to this playlist on repeat! It has something from each of her albums, with a cool and fun vibe overall. listen here!
