Hi friends. I can't believe it's already the end of May and we'll be going into June in just a few days. I'm joining Holly and Patty for their Monthly Musings link-up. The topic for this month is Getting Ready for Summer/Memorial Day.
HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS:
1. What are you looking forward to this summer? I'm looking forward to the warm weather and wearing shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. I love grilling season and having bbqs. I can't wait to go to the beach on the weekends.
2. Favorite summer traditions? We like going to Carvel for ice cream, and my daughter will make us fun summer drinks like an Aperol Spritz.
3. Favorite summer recipe? Please share! We love grilled salmon and using fresh basil to make pesto sauce.
4. Summer vacation plans? We can't wait to take our vacation to the Jersey Shore. This year we are renting a house a block away from the beach. I can't wait to go to the beach every day. It's always a fun and relaxing vacation.
5. Cole slaw or potato salad? Recipe to share? I love both salads and my favorite is German potato salad.
6. Favorite ice cream or frozen treat? I love a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone. I also like vanilla and chocolate frozen yogurt in a cup or cone.
7. Favorite summer beverage? I love iced coffee and iced tea.
8. Beach, lake or mountain? It's the beach hands down!
9. Best ways to beat the heat in the summer? I like staying inside with the air conditioner on. I like sitting in the yard in the shade and drinking an ice-cold drink. I also like going to the movies and clothes shopping.
10. Favorite sunscreen? I like Neutrogena and Alba suntan lotion. I usually buy our suntan lotion at Costco because they always have great deals.
I hope you all enjoy the summer!

Hello friends. I can't believe I'm so behind in my blogging and I'm sorry. It's because we adopted a new puppy!
After Bosco, who passed away on November 26, 2022, my daughter wanted a new pet.
We thought about adopting a cat but decided on a new dog. After months of looking at dogs online, we almost adopted a cute Corgi named Noodles but it was too late and they were already adopted. My daughter saw Lucy on Petfinder.com and fell in love with her. She applied online at Social Tees Animal Rescue to adopt Lucy and we were approved.
We rescued and adopted Lucy (previously named Brandy) on April 6, 2024. She's a chi/terrier mix. She's originally from St. Thomas and has five siblings. Lucy was with two amazing foster families before she came to us. Lucy is 6 months old and we love her so much. She is playful, friendly, and adjusting to us and her routine after having her for a little over 6 weeks.
She is almost potty trained and she knows some commands such as sit, paw, stay, and come. We are not sure how big Lucy will be when she is fully grown. When we adopted her she weighed 18 pounds and she weights now about 20 pounds. We think she will get to between 30 pounds and 40 pounds. I like the size of her now and because she has chihuahua in her maybe she won't be that big. Lucy will be spayed in June.
The day we adopted Lucy - 4/6/24.
My daughter ordered this dog bed on Amazon. Lucy loves her bed.
My daughter bought Lucy this jean jacket from Petco.
Lucy loves being outside and lying in the sun.
Lucy is learning how to take walks in the neighborhood.
The foster family sent some baby photos of Lucy to my daughter. Lucy looked so adorable as a baby!
Please stay tuned for more adventures with Lucy. Lucy has her own Instagram account at @mydoglucy23

Hello friends and happy May. It's been a while since I've shared an Amazon Prime blog post. I will be linking up with Tanya from The Other Side of the Road. I have a lot of items we've bought recently and I'd love to share them with you.
DenTek Triple Clean Advanced Clean Floss Picks, No Break & No Shred Floss, 150 Count
I needed more dental floss and these picks work great.

I ordered these ice packs for my daughter who takes lunch to work. These ice packs help to keep sandwiches and snacks cool all day.

I usually buy my leggings from Costco but ordered them on Amazon instead. I wouldn't be making a trip to Costco anytime soon. These are comfortable and fit great.
Julep Eyeshadow 101 Crème to Powder Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick, Vanilla Matte
I usually use Laura Mercier eyeshadow sticks but ran out. I decided to try out these instead when they were recommended by Tanya. These eyeshadow sticks work great and are just as good as the ones from Laura Mercier. You can't beat the price of $16.
Julep Eyeshadow 101 Crème to Powder Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick, Putty Matte
I love the way these eyeshadow sticks work and I'll be reordering again when I run out of them.

I ordered these bottles to make my own cleaning solution.
We just got a new puppy named Lucy that we rescued a few weeks ago. After Bosco passed away we felt it was time for a new puppy. We needed to order some new supplies. I will be doing a more detailed blog post about Lucy soon. Below are some of the items we ordered.

If I leave the house I will put down a wee wee pad for Lucy. Lucy for some reason doesn't like the wee wee pads and will rip them up. She is only five months old and not fully potty trained yet.
Squishmallows 20-Inch Wendy Frog Pet Bed - Small Ultrasoft Official Squishmallows Plush Pet Bed, 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 8.0"Th
This is the cutest dog bed and Lucy loves it.

After many years of use we needed a new coffee pot. I love how this pot keeps coffee hot.
Maybelline Super Stay Ink Crayon Lipstick Makeup, Precision Tip Matte Lip Crayon with Built-in Sharpener, Longwear Up To 8Hrs, Keep It Fun, Rosey Nude Pink, 1 Count
Sadly in my neighborhood at Rite Aid and Walgreens they keep the makeup locked up. I decided to order this lip crayon from Amazon.
MDZF SWEET HOME 2 in 1 Olive Oil Dispenser and Oil Sprayer Bottle,18oz Oil Dispenser Bottle for Kitchen,Oil Sprayer for Cooking, Kitchen, Salad, Barbecue
I always bought my Avocado spray from Costco. After seeing an Insta Reel of this dispenser I decided to give it a try. It works great as a spray or to drizzle the olive oil. I just fill up the bottle with olive oil or avocado oil from a larger bottle.
Have you bought anything from Amazon lately?
