Day Trip: Lake Geneva

Remember this trip we packed for the other week?  Well funny thing happened when we got to our destination...I was all excited to take pictures and then I realized that I forgot my memory card for my camera.  Luckily Joe had brought his Holga and as always have the trusty iphone to take snapshots as well.  So that's exactly what we did. The reason for the delay on these was that we had to wait to get the film processed!  Haha, remember those days? I especially loved the way the holga pics turned out...soft and dream like!  It was worth bringing along, I'll say!

Thanks for all the well wishes this weekend!  I feel fresh and energized and ready to take on a new week!  How was your weekend?   Oh and Happy April to you today too :)

Leaving the City!

I'm taking the day off to go and enjoy the early summer like weather we've been blessed with this week! Joe and I are packing a picnic and heading to Lake Geneva, a quaint little town about 1-1/2 hour drive from the city!  I'll post photos of our day and share with you next week!  Enjoy your weekend peeps!!

There's still time....

I've been spotting quite a few fall posts invading the sunny summer blogland air.  I don't know about you, but I'm holding on to the very last bloom of summer.  I can't get enough of the heat and warm breezes.  If you feel like summer has come and gone and you feel like you have yet to partake in summertime fun, here are a few things that are awaiting your company. 

 

Like these DIY picnic invites found over at Eat Drink Chic. Something so sweet and simple to hand out to your closet friends.  Joe and I have been enjoying picnics at our local park nearby and at Ravinia this past weekend.

Create a celebratory pinata!  I thought this would be fun to make and not just numbers too! Drop by Oh Happy Day to get the full DIY scoop!

And last but not least take a popcicle break and sit back and enjoy the dog days that only summer can bring. Find the complete recipes over at Chez Beepers blog.  What is still on your to do list this summer?
