AUGUST! What?! How can that be? This summer might be the quickest yet. My kiddos head back to school in just a few short weeks. I’m not sure I’m ready for the early mornings again, and I’m definitely not ready to give up our weekday trips to the beach. So this month it’s all about slow and easy, at least until back to school hits. I just want to enjoy the slowness of summer…read books, spend plenty of time outdoors and enjoy long dinners in our backyard.

In August I’m….

Eating: In typical August fashion, we’re grilling every chance we get. Costco tri-tip is delicious and couldn’t be easier. Planning on pairing it with Jenni Kayne’s zucchini and squash tartine this weekend. Recipe can be found in her book, Pacific Natural.

Listening To: Francesca Blanchard — her new song Baby drew me in and now I’m loving her other songs to! Also Ed Sheeran’s collaboration album has been on repeat.

Reading: My book club is reading “Before We Were Yours” this month. I haven’t started it, ooops. Anyone read it?

Happy August friends!
