This summer has been full of baseball opportunities for me! Ever since I’ve been a little girl, my summers were full of my brother’s baseball games. And I enjoyed every second of it. My favorite professional baseball team is the Atlanta Braves, and Chipper Jones, their switch-hitting third baseman, is my favorite ball player. As all players do, Jones retired…
One of my favorite summer drinks is sun tea! We don’t have it every day, but once in a while, I’ll brew some in a mason jar on the sidewalk. The weather has been warming up, so I’ve been getting the itch to do summer things. I recently thought of this self-proclaimed genius idea: fruit infused sun tea! A while…
A little while ago, as I was driving up a road I don’t travel frequently, I saw a wreath made of flip flops hanging on the side of someone’s house. Initially, I had mixed feelings about the concept.
