Hey hey! How are you? How was the weekend?
Summer time is formally HERE. Bless it. I really feel like I’ve a little bit area to breathe with out the varsity scramble (homework and the entire driving takes up a number of the day), so I’m fairly pumped abut it.
Friday was their final day, so we had a pool get together luau right here on the home for the ladies and a few of their finest associates. The aftermath was wonderful – our yard appeared like Vegas. Feathers, pineapples, sparkles, and empty cups in every single place haha.
I received the cutest picnic setup from Depraved Picnic (extremely, extremely suggest them if you happen to’re in Tucson).
The centerpieces had been pineapples carrying sun shades and this garland from Etsy.
We arrange this little Picture Sales space with this background, a balloon arch, and a few props I discovered at Greenback Tree and Amazon (funky sun shades, boas, leis, flower headbands, and so forth.):
The meals unfold!! We had chips, home made salsa, crackers, artichoke dip, pizza, lemon-roasted rooster (I used rooster tenders), Mediterranean chopped salad, brownies, cookies, banana pudding cups, and tequila sangria for the adults. We stuffed our outdoors coolers with juice pouches, glowing waters, and waters.
My pal Ana additionally introduced my latest fave get together snack: japones peanuts, tamarindo, and chamoy. You add all of it to a cup and it’s every little thing you may want for: crunchy, candy, spicy.
Our babysitter can also be a licensed lifeguard, so I requested if we might rent her for the afternoon to look at the pool. We are going to completely be having a lifeguard right here throughout greater summer time events – SO value it the additional peace of thoughts.
The youngsters swam their little hearts out, took pics within the photograph sales space, snacked, and we had a go to from the Kona Ice shaved ice truck. They had been parked in entrance of our home for an hour, and it was a HIT! Every child was handed their cup of shaved ice they usually might customise their flavors from the dispensers on the aspect of the truck.
Saturday, the ladies swam for hours, I received my nails completed, and tried an enormous baking venture. I lastly made conchas! After having fun with them for my whole life, this was my first time making them on my own. When you’re not acquainted, conchas are an egg bread with a gentle, sugary topping. They’re a DREAM. Additionally they take about 5 hours to make lol.
Who is aware of once I’ll do that once more, however I’ve to inform ya, a concha, heat out of the oven…. effectively, there’s nothing prefer it. The fam came to visit to assist us check them out, and we had get together leftovers, and sangria by the pool.

Sunday, I taught barre and educated a consumer, the kiddos swam all day (once more), and we met up with my pal Annie for gelato and buying. She was on the town for the weekend and I all the time love catching up together with her.
