Life got very busy in May and June because we were in the midst of selling our house and purchasing a new home. Things went pretty smoothly with purchasing but we had a bit of a nightmare selling since three buyers went under contract and then for one reason or another backed out so it took about 3 months to sell. But there were tons of fun moments tied into the angst of selling our home.
May
I got lots of bestie time on the weekends while she was in town visiting. We most often went to
Cocoa Beach but we also tried new things like
Yoga in the Park one weekend and walked around the huge Farmer's Market Downtown Orlando.
I spent a lot of time browsing for home furniture and decor for the new home although we were waiting for our house to sell before making these purchases. I shared some of my favorite decor in this
Home Edition post.
K and I traveled to Colorado at the end of May and I did a quick recap of our long weekend trip
exploring Denver.
I apparently shared quite a few Fashion & Style inspired posts in the month of May.
I talked about my
US Cities Loves and Lusts and got to cross quite a few lusts of the list including Denver, Nashville, and The Florida Keys. We have a trip booked for Boston early next year and I'm working on crossing the final city lust off my list which is Charleston.
June
I got around to sharing all the details of our
Denver trip which was such a fun city to explore.
We moved into our new house and I started the new job right around the same time so things were busy settling into both new environments.
I attended
Kate's Gender Reveal Party and wore pink because I "knew" it was a girl! Funny enough more people at the party wore blue.
The Pulse Nightclub shootings happened here in Orlando in June which rocked our city in a bad way but it was heartwarming to see our community come together to support the victims and the LGBT community. I talked about my love for the city I live in ~
The City Beautiful.
I shared the recipe for one of my favorite Italian dishes -
Chicken Marsala - but slow-cooker style. It was my first attempt at making it in a crockpot but it came out so much better than when I tried the traditional recipe as a novice.
July
We traveled to
Jamaica for my cousin's wedding and I did a quick recap
of our time spent there with my family.
Clearly my fashion posts slowed down but I talk about some of my
Faux Fashion favorites.
I shared a recipe for
Festive Rice Krispies Treats which I decorated in pink and blue for Kate's gender reveal party. I also made these for 4th of July in red, white & blue so you can really make them work for any "festive" occasion with the topping colors.
August
I got around to sharing the full details of our family vacation in July to
Montego Bay.
I shared some of my favorite
Girlfriend Getaway Destinations along with some cute gift ideas for the
Fashion Forward Ladies in your life.
I attended my first
Blogger Tasting Tour and got to try different dishes and drinks from 3 amazing local restaurants I had never eaten at before.
The event was hosted by
Order Up Orlando which is a food delivery app for your phone and they really did a
spectacular job with picking the restaurants and getting some food
bloggers together to do the tour.
Looking back, I clearly kept super busy but got to celebrate so many fun occasions and fulfill my passion for travel.
