6 ways to enjoy a Saturday

As the summer comes to a close our days get shorter and our nights get cooler. Fall will quickly approach us and before we know it, snow, sleet and rain will be upon us. Enjoy these last days of Summer with the ones you love because before we know it, Mr. Winter (booo!) will be here, and we will all be crying about the cold, freezing weather, wishing that Summer were still here!

Get outdoors. Open windows, and doors and let the sunshine in! Listen to the birds chirp, the lawn mowers hum, and the wind blow through the trees.


Spend it with family. Yes we can't choose them, and sometimes you swear you were born into the wrong family...but no matter what, they are always there for you (because they have to be!) to love you, support you and laugh and cry with you!


Spend it with friends or family out on the lawn. Remember days gone by, and laugh at all the silly things you did when you were younger, and thought you were smarter, but not nearly as great as you are today!


Have an afternoon cocktail, and a snack, laugh, and gossip amongst those that you love. Indulge yourself, be decadent and go all out for an afternoon tea.

Hang out with friends and family while you play games, go through old pictures,
or show off that new hobby you took up over the Summer. 


Have an unbelievably rich meal under candlelight. Satisfy all your senses, pamper yourself, 
and wallow in the luxury of the outdoors.
Food, laughter and fun!
Have a GREAT Saturday everyone!!

  5. Nice to meet you, Amanda! Thanks for visiting.

    This is my first time here and I look forward to staying and perusing for a while!

    We just returned from a lovely evening outside spent with friends and the crickets. The ice cream truck even went by- first time this summer for me.

    I'll really miss the warm summer evenings, but I have to say I hope our future summers are not as hot and humid as this year's. How do you folks do it year after year? I guess I am a true Northener!
