Bringing the Summer Inside

Summer is in full swing here in STL. Outside, it has been nothing but beautiful sunny days and warm summer nights. Inside, I like to do a few things that represent summer and brings a smile to my face. The sunflower is the quintessential flower for summer, nothing says "summer" more that a big vase of sunflowers sitting on my kitchen counter. The best part..... these flowers seem to last forever!!!

During the summer months I always have ice cream in the freezer...
and fresh fruit in the fridge.
On my family room bookshelf you will find a Trapp Candle in the "Bob's Flower Shoppe" scent. This candle is amazing, it smells like roses, lilac, and honeysuckle, basically like you just stepped into the most wonderful flower shop in the world.
A jar full of fireflies my kids caught to light up our kitchen....which I always set free once everyone is sound asleep.
