Must-Do Summer Activities for 2018

Yeah, I know I've done this post every year since I started my blog, but it's that season again, and I simply can't resist the urge.
And hey! These are all things I'm actually doing this year, so bonus!

Water balloons

You can get them at just about any store! They can be a pain to fill up, but no pain no gain!  Always a great way to cool off and have a great time.

Pool parties

Even if you don't have a pool, there is no excuse to avoid pool parties and public pools.

Camping

Camping is, in my own stubborn opinion, a right of passage.  We all have a right to be dirty once in awhile.  If you haven't been, this is your summer.  Do it!

Mall Madness

I'll admit I'm not a natural shopper, but if you've never even set foot in a mall, at least go and check out the food court.

We all scream for...

ICECREAM!!!

Free Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven

Yesterday, being 7/11, my family and I went to the nearest 7-Eleven to take advantage of their free slurpees.  If you missed it this year, don't forget to do it next year!  And also, I would highly recommend getting a flavor other than Captain Crunch...

Birthday Celebrations

Summer babies are around every corner! Don't hesitate to share in the joy, even if you're not one yourself.  Bring cupcakes and balloons to work/summer school.

Backyard Campfires

As we previously discussed, camping is an important life experience.  But the fun isn't limited to the wilderness.  If you have a fire pit or outdoor fireplace, the hot dog cooking, marshmallow roasting, ghost stories, and campfire songs can all happen in the comfort of your own backyard.

Get together with Friends and Family

Now's the time.  Seize the day and relax with your loved ones, eating your favorite comfort food and enjoying each other's company.

Popsicles

Eat 'em before they melt!

4th of July BBQ

It's a day to celebrate!  Shelve all political disagreements with your neighbors, and focus on the important question: hot dogs or hamburgers?

Cooking through Tears

Today I mashed up 4 bananas, and embarked on the task I have been avoiding for days.  Making banana bread is one of my triggers.  It brings me back to the day I first met Vanessa, when she brought chocolate chip banana bread to my house warming party.  We were both new to the city, and trying to make friends.  We joined a blossoming community of young adults, and quickly found our tribe.  She mentioned that day that she had bananas that needed to be used, and I was hosting a potluck, so she made the delightful dish to share.  Before she and her husband left, she asked me if I wanted to keep the leftovers, since there were only 2 of them at home.  I gladly agreed, even though there was only one of me.  Money was tight, and I was stressing about how I would feed myself for the next month.  With the help of my freezer, Vanessa's banana bread kept me fed until the next paycheck.  Even in the midst of my anxiety attacks, when my appetite was ...

The Fashion Fiend

Well ladies, it's been a while, but I'm back.  And this time I'm more irritated than ever!  It's homecoming season, and I've been doing some online shopping, and I am getting extremely frustrated with some of the current modeling trends.  Every time a dress is modeled, even just when girls are getting their pictures taken in their lovely dresses before they run off to the dance, there is always a picture that features whatever unique cut-out this dress has.  It's like that's the most important thing about it! To be fair, I do appreciate when the online pictures of the dress are honest, and I know everything about the dress before I buy it.  And in all honesty, I don't claim to be perfect with regards to modesty.  I've definitely had my share of wardrobe malfunctions, and instances where I buy something that looks fine when I try it on, but when I go to sit down, bend over, or kneel in it, it's not so fine. But the way the stores are adve...
