Monthly Musings May 2021: Summer Kick Off

 



It's almost Memorial Day weekend! We have made it to summer. Who is ready for Monthly Musings with Holly and Patty? Today my sweet friend Holly and I are kicking off summer with Monthly Musings and talking about the summer preview.  Join us for these fun questions and answers.


1. Favorite Summer Tradition?

Honestly, in the summer our favorite thing is to hang out at our pool. Our pool is on a 13 acre park and is the heartbeat of our neighborhood. Friday nights are the pool are the Best with people hanging out and bringing food and beverages. We typically close the pool down on Friday nights, at a whopping 9 pm.


2. Any Vacation Plans This Summer?

Yes, we are headed back to Hilton Head Island. We have a different house this year but cannot wait to be back. Hilton Head is the Best.


3. Ocean, Pool or Lake?

We typically spend our time at the ocean and pool, but I do love lake life. We just don't have a ton of lake opportunity.  I need to change that.


4. Favorite Summer Fashion Items?


I am all about the Lilly!








5. Favorite Summer Recipe? Please Share.

Looking forward to busting out this Easy Caprese Grilled Chicken again this summer. This just screams summer food to me.



6. Strawberry Shortcake or Blueberry Pie?

Since I am gluten free I have not had either in about a decade but I probably miss strawberry shortcake more. Does that make sense?


7. What Couldn't You Do in 2020 That You Can Now Do This Summer?


The first thing is that we can have guests at our pool this summer. I am so happy that Hockey Guy can have friends at the pool with him that are not members.

The second thing is attend live events. We have tickets to the Professional Lacrosse League and we are so excited.


8. Favorite Sunscreen?

Because I have lupus, I need to be really careful in the sun. I really like the Beach Defense from Neutrogena.

On my face every day I am all about Daylight from Ever. I use this every day either in clear or tinted in light. It has clean ingredients and also absorbs quickly.


9. Favorite Summer Beverage With or Without Alcohol?

I drink white wine year round so summer is no exception. The other beverage that I really like is a take on a skinny pina colada that they make at the Beach Club in Sea Pines (Hilton Head). Every now and then I like a little Malibu rum with pineapple Bubly water. If the pineapple is hard to find you can also add plain seltzer with a splash of pineapple juice.


10. Do You Have a Garden This Year? Flowers? Veggies? Both?

Ok, no veggie garden this year and that's a little hard. We really need to rehab the area where the veggie garden was. Since we are putting so much work into the yard, I am all about my flowers right now. I know what else I want to put in this fall and once the plants are where I want them to be next year I will move back to getting the veggie garden going again.

  2. One of my favorite traditions is hanging at our pool too. It's nice that my kids are older now and can hang with their friends while the adults hang out too. We are headed to SC for vacation as well this summer.
