Yesterday Summer was kind enough to come to visit one last time, and I spent a few hours in the afternoon lounging by the pool. I even dragged the hubby out with me, and he mixed us 2 gin and tonics. The G&T was my summer drink this year, since my new SodaStream made mixing one up a breeze. I had lots of other things I should have been doing instead, but I just couldn’t resist having one last slice of the season. I know as soon as September hits, it starts to feel like fall. But I’m never quite ready to let go, so I hold on to every last bit of summer as long as I can. Here in Canada, we really treasure the warm months.
The hubby and I had a dip in the pool, knowing that with the year’s cool temperatures it would be one of our last ones. And I read a book Olivia chose as one of my summer reads. Pretty chill.
It’s already much cooler today, and I know fall is just around the corner. So before I charge full steam ahead, I thought it might be nice to recap a little. Here’s a little slice of life from our summer.
We did a lot of pool lounging. (But not enough.)
Had some of these:
And a few too many break-the-rules breakfasts.
We did a little of this:
And a little of that:
And a lot of looking at this:
Olivia closed the book on high school, and her sister made a crazy fondant cake to celebrate.
We took one Crazy Awesome Sister Road Trip to New York.
We worked on some decorating projects.
Isabel went a little overboard on the crazy nails.
And we roasted a few meals on a fire.
How about you? Are you in fall mode yet? What did you do this summer? Does it already feel like ancient history?

Yes! Yes! Yes! We did this this summer too. We did the DIY Tie Dye and mu kids loved it!
Awesome! Such a fun thing to do with kids. I’d love to see some pictures!
Fabulous photos of summer memories. And that pool is definitely very “Miami”! Gorgeous!!
Thanks Michele! The pool was one of our favourite spots this summer, although some of the areas just outside of the picture don’t quite look so “Miami” 😉
I love G&Ts. My mum introduced me to them when I first reach drinking age (which is 14, in the home and with an adult, in the UK). After that, they became my drink of choice! Amazing.
Did you know that no gin is made the same? If you have the opportunity, buy Bombay Sapphire. My mother in law bought us some from the states but accidentally picked up the ‘Thai’ version. It’s gin with lemongrass, which is truly summery.
I promise, I’m not commissioned to talk about gin…although I totally wish I was.
Glad you enjoyed a truly British drink over the summer.
All the best,
Hannah
Guess what my gin of choice is? Bombay Sapphire! Although I must confess it’s only because I like the bottle - but I often pick my drinks that way and it seems to work out! I am a newbie to G&Ts. Since you’ve been drinking them since you were 14, you can be my mentor 😉
