Disclaimer: I am a born and raised Southern Californian, so I realize that my “heat” is nothing compared to other states. That being said, if you are in the Midwest or other crazy hot states, feel free to send me hate mail. I will understand.

I am a happy, easygoing person 99% of the time. It takes a lot to make me upset or grumpy. That 1% when I am rattled is most likely caused by an increase in the temperature.

When it gets hot, I LOSE it. I go full-on Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde and transform into an evil, screaming person. Not pretty. Heat is the worst. I would rather be frozen cold because you can always layer up with clothes and blankets, but there are only so many clothes that you can take off. Ugh.

The only thing getting me through these EVIL, disgustingly hot days are frozen grapes or (as my oldest calls them) “ice grapes”. I keep a giant bowl in the freezer constantly during the summer months. God bless Costco and their huge box of grapes.

Can you tell I don’t have A/C or a pool? 😉

I love summer nights because there is a “magic hour”  right before the sun goes down where the color in the sky is beautiful and the air is the perfect temperature.

The other night we jumped in the car and drove around with the windows open just to experience the glorious breeze on our faces.

Every time we came to a stop sign, we would let the boys take turns telling us where to go. They LOVED having the control over where we went and it led us on a fun little adventure.

Hope you’re enjoying your summer nights as much as we are!

And Fashion Friday this week made it onto Simple Homemade’s Weekend Links list.
