It has been an interesting week to say the least. Last week, glorious rain and cooler temperatures graced us in Texas, but this week the weather was back full force with 100 degree weather! Then Tuesday we got rain and HAIL…Oh fall, I hope you come soon!
1. Sadly, my computer crashed last weekend! I thought it would be a quick software fix, but somehow, the screen was shattered while being repaired! Now, I have to wait on their corporate manager to tell them how to handle it. In the meantime, I am working from my old, slow lap top. I have been writing inspiration and blog posts on paper and it has actually been very liberating 🙂
2. We also had a baby shower last weekend for my friend who is expecting a baby girl soon. I will have a full blog post full of pretty pink inspiration soon. We had it at my mom’s house and everything turned out so beautiful!
3. I have a tendency to rush into fall because I love it so much, so this week on the blog, I focused on savoring summer. In case you missed, check out this pretty pink tea, our pergola, a favorite back to school memory, and these AWESOME Cold Brew Coffee Popsicles! Once September first hits though, it is all about fall in our house (even if the weather is still summer 🙂 )
4. I love the flavor of S’mores in the summer and the fall. I think it is the perfect transitional treat for both seasons. I rarely get Starbucks, but I had to try their S’mores Frap. I recreated one at home that is much healthier and cheaper. It is really delicious too! Sharing this on Monday 🙂
5. My favorite day of the week was definitely Tuesday with our random rain shower and storms. I loved watching it fall from the kitchen window. Felt almost like fall 🙂
What are your plans for the weekend?

I am so ready for fall to come here in NC too. The heat, well, I’m over it too. Plans this weekend is getting ready to dig the school supplies out and get ready to head back to the classroom on Monday. Summer is officially over. Bittersweet this year.
Summer really flew by this year didn’t it? Good luck going back to the classroom! I hope you enjoy your last weekend 🙂
Ok, I’d seen your post about your computer being repaired but I can’t believe they shattered your screen! Maybe you’ll get a whole new computer out of it! And I’m trying to savor the last little bit of summer too.
Thanks for linking up!

I know, I really can’t believe it either! I do hope I get a new computer out of it, which would be awesome! Keeping my fingers crossed 🙂
looking forward to your s’mores recipe next week! Sucks about your laptop. I’d be so mad! I hope to get some pool time in this weekend! Happy Friday!

Thanks Trish! I know, I was very upset for awhile! Now i am just hoping they get it fixed or a new one ASAP! Have a wonderful weekend!
I am trying to savor summer too! I will embrace it after labor day, but until thenI am soaking up all summer has to offer!

That is me as well! I feel like after Labor Day, summer is truly over!
I need to figure out how to make Sbuck’s Chai Frapp. I’m in love with it! It’s a last beach weekend for me this weekend.
I hope you enjoy your last beach weekend! I sent you a link to my favorite chai frap at home. I like it just as much as Starbucks 🙂 Have a great day!
I do the same thing you do, I love fall. It’s my favorite season and so I rush as well. I bought a bunch of sweaters at a clearance sale at the end of Spring and I can’t wait to wear them. And I’m really looking forward to going to the apple orchard. I probably need to take some time to really enjoy the warm weather while it’s still here though.
An apple orchard sounds amazing. I would love to go to one, we don’t have any in Texas like that, but we do have some pumpkin patches, so I will definitely be doing that again 🙂 I can’t wait to wear sweaters either! Fall is the best!
I really enjoy your weekly five favorites. I had no idea Starbucks has a S’more Frap….I will not try them, I will not try them…..okay, maybe one. haha
Thanks Kris! I think Starbucks did it as a special summer thing. I had never heard of one either…it is worth a try at least once 😉 If you like it, you will definitely like my recipe on Monday. It is much healthier that’s for sure lol. Have a great weekend!
I’m a Texas girl, too, and SO READY to be done with these triple digit days!! *Prayer Hands Emoji* Fall, please come soon. And bring with you all the pumpkin everything.
Also, totally coming back Monday. I think I need a homemade s’mores frap in my life. Happy weekend!
Yay for pumpkin! My favorite fall item of all time 🙂 hoping our Texas heat ends sooner than usual this year. Have a wonderful weekend !
Happy weekend Alexis! Bummer about your computer, esp the shattered screen. Sometimes going “old school” and writing things down is therapeutic, clears the mind. Jealous about the rain – would love some, if just to clean the air… You look so pretty in the baby party photo! Looking forward to the weekend – finishing touches to the deck, family dinner, trying not to rush around as much, catching up on “things”. Have a great weekend!
Thank you Laurie ! You are right though, writing stuff by hand has been so therapeutic and inspiring 🙂 sounds like some good weekend plans, I hope you enjoy:) Have a great Saturday !
Oh no, cant belive their shattered the screen… maybe something goo will come out of it.. lovely pictures and post, thank you for sharing with OMHG Wordless Wednesday, co-host Evija @ Fromevijawithlove xx
I know, such a bummer, but it looks like I may get a new computer 🙂 Thanks so much Evija! Have a wonderful day!
