Sometimes a girls gotta reflect! It’s summer and I gotta smile because mother nature will soon change her mind and make the sunny days full of flip flops and smoothies into a blustery day full of Uggs and heated blankets. It’s important to take a moment to stop and (go with the cliche ) “Smell the roses.”

Here’s what’s making me smile this month:

1. Leo got a haircut at the beginning of the month and they put the cutest bow tie on him!

2. My mom came to visit for the 4th of July! We had a great time and we got to go to all our favorite spots (Nordstrom, Surdyk’s, Bar La Grassa , Sebastian Joes, and of course Cafe Latte).

3. My mom is going to be so mad that I put this picture on the blog but anyways…I love Pedicures and it was a great to have a Mother/Daughter day last week and get pampered. The funny thing is I’m completely in love with glitter and hate pastels and my mom (well…she’s the complete opposite).

4. I got my birthday present early from my mom. What flavor of ice cream should I make first?

5. I would like to thank Bakerella for the great idea of making snow cone cupcakes. When I made these I found I had a love/hate relationship with them. I loved the taste of the frosting and I HATED spending 2 hours on decorating these babies.

What are you lovin this month?

Smiles,
Erica
