all I got to say is…strawberry lemonade!

It’s hot here!  I’m not sure what happened to Spring, but it left without telling me.  Savy and I were running errands and I was in need of something refreshing.  I remembered sitting in a Starbucks and someone ordering a strawberry lemonade.  I had never noticed strawberry lemonade on the menu, but I watched as they proceeded to make it and give it to the lady.  So in the midst of the heat today, I went to the closest Starbucks and asked for just that.  The cashier looked puzzled but asked somebody else, she asked if I wanted a “blended strawberry lemonade”, and I said sure.  Before I know it, I’m sipping on an icy strawberry lemonade that totally quenched my thirst.  So next time you are in need of a cool refreshing drink, I recommend Starbucks blended strawberry lemonade, it’s not on the menu, but they know how to make it!

Why didn’t I think of that?

So I was going through my rss feed today (that I’ve been somewhat neglecting lately), and found 2 great ideas. You know those ideas that you say….why didn’t I think of that?

I have always been more of a shower person rather than a long bath person. Somehow since becoming a mom, I have had an appetite for long, hot baths. One of the challenges I have is maneuvering my reading treat-whether it’s a book or magazine. It’s difficult to relax without getting accidentally dipping the edge into the water. Then I found this….a bamboo bathtub caddy. Isn’t that great? I only wish it wasn’t so expensive, but it is a nice luxury. So if you are looking for a gift for that hard to buy for gal, consider this.

My other great find is a little more practical in nature. The moment I read about this one, I immediately clicked onto the website and purchased it. So what is it? Strapsecret Now most of you may not have this problem, but because of my very narrow shoulders, I am constantly pulling my straps up. Unless I find a racerback or sportsbra, then the problem is inevitable. Once I get them, and try them out, I will give an update as to how well they work.
