Monthly Musings: May 2025

 



Hi Friends!  I am here with Patty for our monthly linkup where we answer different and fun questions.  This month we are talking about how we Kick Off Summer...woohoo!  We are answering the questions below...

 


 So let's get to it!

 

1. What are you looking forward to most this summer?

 


Time with my girls....can't believe Diana will be going into her senior year this fall...enjoying every moment together...as always

 

 

2. Any favorite summer traditions?


 

Watching our town fireworks with friends- going to the beach- our Annual Mommy Daughter Boogie Boarding Day- going to Tom and Laurel's Lake House for 4th of July Weekend

 

 

 

3. Any summer travel plans?  Please dish!






 

 Not outside of the lake over the 4th- it will be another simple summer in these parts but this is one of our favorite weekends all year!!

 

 


4. How do you red, white and blue?

 




 Oh just LOVE red, white and blue and anything patriotic- I try to tie it all in with decor around the house...plants outside and fashion of course

 

 

 

5. Beach, Lake or Pool?




 

 All three please!  If I was forced to pick, I would always pick the beach...at the ocean of course :)

 

 

6. Favorite Summer Sweet Treat?


 

 Ice cream or gelato and of course, my "crack bars" which have become a favorite sweet treat around here

 

 

7. Favorite Sunscreens and Self-Tanners?



 

 I like Banana Boat sunscreen products because they smell like summer to me...banana'y and coconut'y and just perfect!  For self-tanners, I use my tried and true Quicktan spray that I buy on Amazon

 

 

 

8.  Best flip-flops or sandals?


 

 My fave pair of all time...still going...I take care of them because they are not available anymore and I LOVE them so much!  Reefs...black crystal...

 

 

 

 

9. How are you staying fit this summer?


 

 The Rail Trail of course...and some gym classes mixed in too

 

 

10. Favorite summer-themed movies? 



 Vacation- Shag- Jaws

With 3 of the 5 of us working full time it's going to be a quiet summer here too but I'm looking forward to some lazy days at home... hopefully in the sun! Though I'm starting to feel like it's never going to stop raining.

You "summer" like you do everything, Holly- so well! I love your patriotic treats, decor, and all your fun plans. I know you guys will have a blast this summer and appreciate it being one where Diana won't go away at the end of it, lol. Thanks for the link up!

We haven't had a beach trip in a couple of years so I'm looking forward to that. I agree it's hard to choose between ocean-lake-pool because I love them all. Thanks for hosting and happy summer!

This was so much fun to read! Simple summers can be the very best. I need to find some pools to swim in, though!

Everyday Maddie said...

Sunscreen that smells like banana or coconut is the best!!

Love that we both put Shag! I also love the M & Ms w the Swedish fish. I am going to steal that idea. Please send me the crack bars recipe. Cheers to the Best blogging partner.

I love your bouquets. I really need to make more bouquets with flowers which grow in our yard this summer. And yes, I love a good beach day at the ocean! I'm looking forward to the simple, emptier weeks of our summer just as much as I'm looking forward to our vacation.
