August Recap

August has been a long month, but I'm glad to wrap it up with a long Labor Day weekend. We still have some summer weather left here in Charleston, but I am surprisingly ready for fall. Long sleeves, not sweating the moment I go outside, and cooking soups in the crock pot are all things I love about fall. But let's dwell in the past for a little bit. Here's what we did in the month of August:

In the Kitchen:

We made peanut butter oreo cookie brownies and holy canoli are they good.

We made really yummy jerk chicken pineapple skewers on the grill.

We shared one of our favorite recipes - crock pot sesame chicken!

In the Condo:

Sean replaced the toilet pump in our guest bathroom, since it was running a lot. We were both surprised at how easy it was to fix.

I sewed! I made a slip on pillow cover for one of our couch cushions and now I am excited for my next project!

We organized (or re-organized) three cabinets - the baking cabinet, our bathroom drawers, and the guest bath drawers. Quick, free projects can make you feel so much better about a space!

We madeover a bench for our Goodwill collaboration. It was simple and easy but makes such a difference!

Wedding Related:

I came up with the kooky idea of having ombre bridesmaids dresses - and found lots of inspiration online. What do you think?!

We did our engagement photoshoot and could not be more pleased with how the pictures turned out.

Around Charleston:

Sean shared his favorite hot dog topping combinations and some great tips and tricks for the Charleston Riverdogs baseball games!

Other Stuff:

I got a little carried away with the Lilly Pulitzer end of summer sale...

I shared my favorite shoe for fall -  the smoking slipper!

Happy September!
