How to Throw a Fancy BBQ

Welcome to summer! Hope you've been getting some good use out of your grill. Here's some inspiration to fancy up your bbq nights!



Tie up your plastic cutlery in sets with colored napkins and ribbon. The Noble Wife, where I found this inspiration, went so far as to tuck a piece of fresh herb in each bundle!

Watermelon Sorbet

I told you this post was on its way! The other week I knew Dave would be traveling for work, but I bought a whole watermelon anyway. They looked so good! So now I was home alone with a whole watermelon to finish. So I made sorbet! And here is the recipe for you!

NYC Through Instagram

This Saturday I went to NYC with mom to see a play for her birthday. We saw The Best Man on Broadway. Turned out to be warm and sunny and a great day to visit the city!

First off, I carried my new thrifted over sized clutch. $11!

Crate, new or reclaimed! Use coconut husk or burlap to line it with.



Upcycled colander!
