cold brew

Last night I decided to make some cold brew concentrate from the recipe that Abi posted on Vanilla & Lace the other day. It turned out delicious and it's like the easiest thing to make. I think I will definitely be making this a ton this summer. 

   

Bicycle rides

Fletcher and I went for a little bike ride tonight and I decided to take my camera. It was a lot of fun and yes, I did take a few while riding my bike! Ha! I didn't even fall down! The weather was absolutely wonderful! A few degrees cooler and I would have needed a cardigan. I can't believe it's August! It definitely does not feel like it. I'm loving it. I'm ready for fall and cooler weather and sweaters.

life lately

The past few weeks have been pretty good. Kinda of crazy weather wise though. We've had to run to friend's and family's houses to hide from tornados a couple of times but it's not so bad. It's scary but a nice little excuse to visit with loved ones.

Fletcher and I broke out the Xbox the other day and played some Left 4 Dead together. Shooting zombies can be romantic right? ;)

This past weekend we kicked things off by hanging out with our besties Sam & Rob. We had a nice little dinner, went to the mall and then hit up Barnes & Noble for some Starbucks. 

Fletcher totally photobombed us.

We spent the night at their house and the next day we went and got our first snow cones of summer! They were delicious. I got Summer Lovin' (peach, cranberry and lemon).

Then we headed to my parent's house for the rest of the weekend and ate a lot of food. We also went to see Fast & Furious 6 which we were both super excited about and it did not disappoint! Now I just need a sweet muscle car! 

Monday we had some delicious watermelon and then Fletcher and I went to Rogers, Ar. to do a little shopping and just hang out. We love going to Rogers. Then we just came home and are slowly getting back into our routine. Fletcher's still working tons of overtime so it's back to work for him and I've been doing some reorganizing/cleaning. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! 

NYC!!

In just a few short days I will be in NYC! I'm going on a spur of the moment road trip with my brother, sister-in-law and niece. We are leaving Saturday morning and heading straight for New York! We already have our tickets to go up in the Statue of Liberty and everything! I'm so excited! Sadly, Fletcher doesn't get to go with us :( He couldn't get off work on such short notice but he's being amazing (as always) and he's excited for me to be able to go someplace I've always wanted to go. I'll be taking plenty of pictures with my iphone. I'm probably not taking my big camera since it's kind of huge. Ha! But I think my phone will suffice and I'm sure my brother will be taking a smaller camera too. So, if you want you can follow me on instagram. My username is honeyandthread . I'll be posting tons of photos on there of our whole trip.

my weekend in photos

We started the weekend Thursday night with a bike ride to get a snow cone. We saw some cute bunnies on our bike ride. 

Friday we had lunch with our friend Kaylee and her little sister then that evening we went to our other friend's house to visit. Otter got to go on that little adventure.

Saturday we headed to the mall with Josh & Kaylee and of course had to go to the candy store. They brought their puppy over for a little play date. I also got a new perfume to add to my Pink collection. It smells amazing. 

Sunday we headed over to Fletcher's Aunt and Uncle's house for a little swim day. I made blackberry cobbler and it was literally gone within 15 minutes. 

I'm starting off the week with a super yummy smoothie (peach, strawberry and banana). 

How was your weekend?

bike rides and sunsets

Fletcher and I have been riding our bikes a lot lately. Last night we went for a ride and found a really pretty field so we decided to go back tonight and take some photos. I'm slowly teaching Fletcher how to take pictures with my camera. He's getting the hang of it. He actually took some really good photos tonight.

On the way home we went by and visited our friend, Honey. She lives a block or so away from our house. We don't actually know her name but we decided to call her Honeysuckle or Honey for short since there were tons of Honeysuckles around the fence. 

weekend love

This past weekend we went camping with my parents. Our camping got cut short and we had to go deliver some stuff my Dad sold on Craigslist but we got to get some Braum's ice cream so it was worth it. Funny story about our Braum's stop, my Mom and I got the same kind of ice cream cone and the guy who made them made her first. Then, he made mine and I swear it had twice as much ice cream as hers! It was intense but I ate it haha! I've never been one to complain about extra ice cream. ;)

business time

My friend, Sam, and I had our first meeting today about our upcoming business adventure! I think we are going to have a lot of fun with it and I can't wait to tell you more about it. We decided to play around and take some photos while I was at her place and although it was getting dark I think we got some good shots. Here are a couple. They are kind of blurry but it was hard to stop giggling because we were both being extremely goofy the whole time. Haha! Expect lots more outfit shots in the near future! 

dress: Forever 21

lately

Here are a few photos of life lately. We've been spending lots of time in our backyard. It's so nice to be able to go out and let our puppy run around and enjoy the warm weather. I've also been doing some redecorating.

Do something

Lately, I've kind of been out of it. I haven't been in the mood to do anything. I have no motivation. I need to read a book and get out my camera (not iPhone). I need to do something. I am going to set a goal to read a book this week. I have a ton of new books I haven't even looked at since I bought them. So, that's my goal for the rest of the week, to read a book. I'll let you know how that goes. Hope everyone is having a lovely summer break so far!
