I had this one corner in my living room that just felt bare. It is between our TV and the door to the patio, and it is just big enough to need some intentional styling. For the longest time we put our blanket basket there, but it just didn’t feel right.

I’ve always wanted a fake tree in our house. I know they can be cheesy, but I love how they bring life and color to a space. I’ve also always loved a blanket ladder to display blankets. When I started doing my research, I found that Target had a great selection of both trees and blanket ladders so I ordered a few to try.

Thankfully the first ones I ordered worked out and I LOVE the result. very chic, simple, yet elegant and fills the space perfectly.

I’ve linked everything below if you want to use some of the items too!

My little one is getting big enough that it is time to start getting him in the pool! Let’s be honest, its just way too hot out for me so I want to get back in the pool as well. We had our first day in the pool this week and it was so much fun to see Aaron go from incredibly apprehensive to LOVING it and splashing Grandpa in just one swim session.

I didn’t quite know what to pack for him for the pool, but I did my best. Of course we packed the basics, like the cutest stripe swim trunks from H&M and swim diapers. I got this cute little floatie for him so he could relax and we could swim around a bit while still keeping and eye on him. Best $25 we’ve spent this month!

I packed just a few snacks and lots of water for us since we went in the middle of the day and it was HOT!

I am on the hunt for some new beach towels, but for now, these striped basic ones from Amazon did the trick. I can’t wait to have more pool days, sharing my love of the water with my little boy. I’m sure we will put him in formal swim lessons soon, but for now, we are enjoying him splashing in the shallow end, kicking his little feet trying to doggie paddle. It is the CUTEST!

If you want the EASIEST appetizer (or meal really!) that comes together in less than 10 minutes and is a crowd favorite, look no further than the hummus board. This simple yet DELICIOUS appetizer is perfect for a summer gathering since you don’t have to heat up the oven to make it, and is full of summer produce.

There are so many variations you could make on this, just by switching up the ingredients like adding red onion, more olive varieties, or adding pine nuts and pesto. The versatility and ability to customize is the best part of this board. You could also squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top and add some Greek seasonings if you really wanted to turn the flavor up a notch.

If you check out my instagram, I shared a reel on how I put this board together, but below is the full recipe for those of you who need it written out (I’m that person too!). And if you need more appetizer ideas, check out my chunky guacamole recipe here. It is another great no heat appetizer for those triple digit days.
