Hello July!  July is my favourite month of the year.  The sun is shining, the flowers are in bloom, the days are long and bright and you can wear open toed shoes!  What’s not to love?  This weekend we’re planning to spend a lot of time outdoors with some strawberry picking tomorrow, outdoor pub lunch on Sunday with friends and family and lots of park time in between.  What are your plans for the weekend?

Here are a few Summery links I’ve liked from around the web this past week:

How summery and fresh do these cupcakes look?

Get your body beach ready with this 3 day bikini re-set plan

Learn how to make a flowery pinata

Get inspired by this gorgeous outdoor dinner party

These 4th of July popsicle cakes look good enough to eat everyday (even if you’re not American)

Matching mama and baby outfits can be cool

Who needs expensive toys and gadgets to have fun in the great outdoors?

Have a happy weekend and wishing all my American readers a wonderful July 4th.
