Hey hey! How are you? How was the weekend?
Summer time is formally HERE. Bless it. I really feel like I’ve a little bit area to breathe with out the varsity scramble (homework and all the driving takes up lots of the day), so I’m fairly pumped abut it.
Friday was their final day, so we had a pool social gathering luau right here on the home for the ladies and a few of their finest mates. The aftermath was superb – our yard appeared like Vegas. Feathers, pineapples, sparkles, and empty cups in all places haha.
I bought the cutest picnic setup from Wicked Picnic (extremely, extremely advocate them in case you’re in Tucson).
The centerpieces had been pineapples carrying sun shades and this garland from Etsy.
We arrange this little Photograph Sales space with this background, a balloon arch, and a few props I discovered at Greenback Tree and Amazon (funky sun shades, boas, leis, flower headbands, and so on.):
The meals unfold!! We had chips, do-it-yourself salsa, crackers, artichoke dip, pizza, lemon-roasted chicken (I used rooster tenders), Mediterranean chopped salad, brownies, cookies, banana pudding cups, and tequila sangria for the adults. We crammed our exterior coolers with juice pouches, glowing waters, and waters.
My pal Ana additionally introduced my latest fave social gathering snack: japones peanuts, tamarindo, and chamoy. You add all of it to a cup and it’s all the things you can want for: crunchy, candy, spicy.
Our babysitter can also be an authorized lifeguard, so I requested if we may rent her for the afternoon to observe the pool. We’ll completely be having a lifeguard right here throughout greater summer time events – SO price it the additional peace of thoughts.
The youngsters swam their little hearts out, took pics within the photograph sales space, snacked, and we had a go to from the Kona Ice shaved ice truck. They had been parked in entrance of our home for an hour, and it was a HIT! Every child was handed their cup of shaved ice they usually may customise their flavors from the dispensers on the facet of the truck.
Saturday, the ladies swam for hours, I bought my nails completed, and tried an enormous baking undertaking. I lastly made conchas! After having fun with them for my total life, this was my first time making them on my own. When you’re not acquainted, conchas are an egg bread with a tender, sugary topping. They’re a DREAM. Additionally they take about 5 hours to make lol.
Who is aware of after I’ll do that once more, however I’ve to inform ya, a concha, heat out of the oven…. effectively, there’s nothing prefer it. The fam came to visit to assist us take a look at them out, and we had social gathering leftovers, and sangria by the pool.

Sunday, I taught barre and educated a consumer, the kiddos swam all day (once more), and we met up with my pal Annie for gelato and procuring. She was on the town for the weekend and I at all times love catching up together with her.
