Weekly Round Up
Happy Friday!
How was everyone’s 4th of July?! Chandler and I had a nice relaxing day. We had planned on going to the beach but it rained until almost noon. Since the beach would’ve been too crowded to get a spot by that point, we decided to hang out by the pool, enjoy some delicious Publix subs, and enjoy some time with friends. All in all a good day!
Below are this week’s featured articles. I hope you all love them!
Food:
I love popsicles! I don’t think I know anyone who didn’t grow up with popsicles in the summer. What Moms Love recently shared a blog post with the best healthy popsicle recipes for kids. Of course I’ll be making some for myself. ?

Who knew cheese dip could be healthy? I know I sure didn’t! Almost every time Chandler and I go out to eat Mexican food we order queso. It would be nice though to be able to make it at home. I can’t wait to try this recipe from The Cookie Rookie for our next taco night at home.

I really like Greek food. I haven’t had too much but what I have had I’ve enjoyed. If you’ve ever eaten at Zoe’s Kitchen, then you know how good their Greek salad is. Once I found this greek chicken pasta salad recipe from Budget Bytes, I got super excited. I can’t wait to make this one of these nights.

I shop at IKEA occasionally, but for those that shop there more frequently, this article from The Kitchn is pretty cool. It has a handful of family shopping perks that not everyone knows about.

I love watching The Bachelor/Bachelorette plus all of the off season versions of the show such as Paradise. A handful of the cast from the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise has officially been confirmed and a few favorites of mine are on the list! I will say, there are also a few people I can’t stand that are on the list too… You’ll know who.

Last but not least is this fun ruffle skirt that Gabrielle Morlet shared. I love ruffle details on different clothing styles because put in the right place, can be really flattering. This ruffle skirt is the perfect example!
