Hello weekend!

I rounded up all my outdoor entertaining favorites and put together lists of summer beauty must-haves and kids’ summer faves. If you’re planning gatherings or updating your seasonal kits, those lists are full of things I actually use and love.
There’s a new menu for the week and a fresh A Week in the Life post where I share little moments from our everyday routine. You can also find all my favorite products in my Amazon storefront and browse my LTK shop for curated picks and outfit ideas.

I’m eyeing an angel food cake topped with raspberry cream for a light, elegant dessert that feels special without too much fuss.
A Tuscan tortellini pasta salad looks like an ideal make-ahead side for summer meals and cookouts.
Dubai-style chocolate brownies topped with berries caught my attention—rich, chocolatey, and perfect with fresh fruit.
Firecracker ice pops are such a fun, festive treat to make at home for kids and adults alike.
Watermelon limoncello Prosecco slushies are the kind of refreshing cocktail-slash-dessert you want on a hot afternoon.
Pineapple whip is a nostalgic, light frozen treat that I’m excited to try this season.

Philly cheesesteak sandwiches are on my list for a hearty, satisfying dinner that everyone will enjoy.
I’m planning to make a Cajun seafood boil with garlic butter sauce soon—big, flavorful, and perfect for feeding a group.
Chewy lemon poppyseed cookies are my go-to when I want a bright, citrusy cookie with great texture.
And lastly, a berries-and-cream cake looks beautifully simple and seasonally appropriate for any summer celebration.
