Summer Shenanigans
What have we been upto these past few weeks..
and made dinner as well.. these are an attempt as cheesesteak sandwiches.. M is in progress of becoming a grill master.. I wish we could cook more outside but we have had too many rainy evening.
We worked on a puzzle.
and we read some books. We hit the library just the other day to stock up on some summer reads.
We went to the movies. It was a little predictable but still so much fun. The perfect summer blockbuster.
I worked on a little nook in our foyer and gave it a refresh. The floor is hand painted by yours truly about 6 years ago.. you can check out the before here.
We spent a day in Montclair.. we used to live not far from there when D was little.
The station is now home to a market where we bought this incredible spicy cheese.
We visited a bookstore
Had brunch at this cute Pakistani place called Chashni
Perused some antiques
How has this become normal.. Halloween in July.. seriously.
we also witnessed our democracy in action.
We will be travelling in the upcoming days so no more posting on the blog but you can follow along on Instagram to see what we are up to.
We made breakfast on the grill..

Wishing you all a great rest of your summer.. stay cool.
Looks like a wonderful time. 😊 Your breakfast 😋 on the grill looks scrumptious. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteWhere painted the floor using stencils, is that slippery if you have damp feet?
ReplyDeleteYour nook looks nice and bright and seems you have all being doing something to occupy yourselves.
Take care.
Sounds like a good summer so far!

ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect summer so far (minus all of the rain!). I don't want to see back to school supplies and Halloween stuff in July either. I love your foyer and handpainted floor. Wow! Enjoy your travels!
ReplyDeleteYour summer shenanigans sound absolutely perfect. And I'm swooning over that corner of your foyer. I think my jaw must have dropped to the floor when I read that you handpainted that floor! There really is no limit to your talent, Hena! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love your foyer!! We have been receiving a lot of rain here too, so not as much grilling this season.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the Halloween items.. in July??? No!!!
Enjoy your travels.
