The weather in Seattle this week has been spectacular. The sun is rising close to 5am and setting after 9pm. It feels like summer. My lavender is getting ready to explode and will soon be covered with my favorite bumblebees…
Our house faces west and the sun blazes through the windows. All summer long these cheap Coolaroo outdoor shades are drawn 24/7. Aside from keeping the heat and glare out, I love the way the light feels inside when they are down…
Last night while washing dishes I smelled the first jasmine bloom and it made me audibly gasp. Maybe this year it will climb high enough to cover our defunct utility pole…
I learned about Water Right Hoses from my friend Omar and finally bought their soaker hoses and installed them this weekend. They are a game-changer and in terms of quality, unlike any soaker hose I’ve used before. Plus the company is based in McMinnville, OR—a small but vibrant town we love and where my brother and his family live.


I’ve been using Blue Bottle Coffee’s instant espresso and enjoying iced lattes on my back deck…
Or sometimes an iced matcha latte using Pique Sun Goddess Matcha sachets…


And Malk almond milk…
I’ve been wearing my Teva sandals in the yard and around town…
And I am reveling in wearing these clear jelly sandals that remind me of my childhood (and wearing them even when my mom told me I’d get blisters—which I did). I’m also loving this blue Zara jacket that I learned about from Asta…
Also nostalgic, I’ve been wearing these Adidas Originals shorts which feel like the 1980s corduroy Op shorts my friends and I used to look for at Goodwill back in high school…
And this morning I woke up with my son’s cold. MyCommunity has long been my go-to immune support. I take it regularly and double up when I’m sick, traveling, or when school starts back up in the fall…
I’m also liking Pique Liposomal C and Elderberry…
Enjoy the rest of your weekend friends. xx
And it all looks SO good on you!
Ee, summer Leitz house vibes are the best. 🥰
