I can’t believe that it’s already June and 2018 is almost half over! This month, it’s all about embracing summer wholeheartedly and making the most of every moment! I’ve been enjoying an easy going weekend with some time by the pool, a great book, time with friends and finally lots of sunshine! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Enjoy these ideas for some great things to do with your life in June!
My daughter gave me a copy of What’s Gaby Cooking for my birthday and it’s filled with so many amazing recipes! I love the idea of putting a big spread out on a huge round platter and letting guests make their own creation! Be sure to check out Gaby’s blog for even more ideas!
I’m fascinated by Ruth Bader Ginsburg and I can’t wait to see this movie! I’m a little late taking about it, but I know it will be great!
Get a new swimsuit coverup that can take you from breakfast to the beach!

Get your summer reading started with Sonia Choquette’s book, Waking Up In Paris – Overcoming Darkness in the City of Light! The cover photography was done by Carla Coulson and is part of her series of photographs called Young Girls In Bloom. You’ll definitely want to take a look at this collection of photographs!
What will you be doing this summer! Let me know in the comment box below…I can’t wait to hear!
Hi Suzanne, Your June ideas are great. I want to see RGB also – it’s playing at the Chelsea Theatre in Chapel Hill. Have you been there? They play independent films that are hard to find outside of large cities. Waking Up In Paris looks intriguing. Thanks for your blogs!
Let me know if you want to go! I did go there once to see a Wes Anderson film…we don’t get those in Burlington haha! I am enjoying the book, very timely for me right now, but also just love anything about Paris! Thank you so much for reading!
Great ideas for June! Love them all. I think that movie will be interesting too. And these recipes look so fabulous. So much to do so little time!

That’s the truth Cheryl! It seems like I get up and the day is over…! Thanks for reading!
Hi Suzanne,
So many great ideas! I’m taking my daughter to the airport in a few days, then I will have some time to plan a few fun things for myself to do this summer. What I’m most looking forward to is long days painting in my little studio, and some fun beach evenings with bonfires, food, friends and family.
I will also be on the lookout for that book, because #1: Paris, and #2: reading in the swing on my porch is also one of my favorite ways to spend a lazy afternoon!
I’m heading your direction in August to get my youngest situated in a new apartment for her last semester at App State. August in NC is not ideal, but the hot weather after living with our cool Pacific Ocean breezes all year long makes it feel like vacation to me! Even if I will be schlepping boxes and furniture up and down stairs. Ugh!
Your posts always inspire me!

Hi Heidi!
I remember those days of schlepping all too well and I’m not sure they’re over yet as my youngest is moving home while her husband is deployed next spring! They will then be moving to Virginia Beach!
I do love Boone, especially in the summer because the weather in the mountains is sooo nice compared to hear! I wouldn’t mind experiencing the Pacific Ocean breezes at some point in my life, preferably soon!
Your summer plans sound really fun! Reading on the porch (or on the beach) is the best when the weather is nice! Thank you for reading! Have a great day!
