Lately: America The Beautiful

Another Lately post for you!

If you’re on the market for new summer sunglasses, get some from Kohv!! They have a standing promo with Kath Eats readers for 15% off with the code KATHEATS15! Love my new rose gold shades!

4th of July was a blast!

And by blast I mean that lightning was striking all around and it poured! Such a bummer! My neighborhood was supposed to have a big block party, but due to the weather, we ran through the rain with our dishes, got a plate of food under the tents, ate quickly, and dashed back to our homes. I declare a re-do!

The best news was that the rain cleared up for fireworks, and I had the best view ever from my deck! Because of my mom’s book, I had “A the B” playing while we watched.

I invited some friends to join, and we toasted with bubbly.

Some of my neighbors had this glitter stick for the World Cup game, and I obviously had to get one.

We also had a great start to the holiday with a stations workout at the gym. They passed out popsicles after, which were so refreshing!!

Grammie + Pea Camp

The boys had a great time at Grammie + Pea Camp, a summer tradition they look forward to all year. This visit they assembled a new Hogwarts Lego, went canoeing at Merchant’s Mill Pond in Eastern, NC, and spent two nights in Virginia Beach. Here are some of their photos!

Saying goodbye

Note my mom’s art on pizza boxes behind us!

Mazen’s Impressive Rope Climb!

Durham Bulls Game

Lego Exhibit and VA Beach Breakfast

Home Alone

While they were gone, I was a little productive, but I also spent time learning the Puerto Rico dance and starting Simply Piano! Plus getting some of my last furniture in place!

The buffet is perfect! Sofa to follow.

I also met up with blog reader Hailey who was visiting Cville on a solo trip. Hailey is also a dietitian and wrote a guest post for me back in 2014! She’s been reading the blog since 2009, so of course I had to meet her IRL. That’s almost 20 years!

Kath Eats Alone

I got a Blue Apron box for my solo week. I love that you can just order a box when you feel like it now. Not having to worry about a subscription is a game changer.

Bang Bang Chicken
Dish Meals (heat + eat fresh meals)

Girl Dinner Salad

Manifesting Fall

I picked this cereal up from Wegmans. Manifesting cooler weather! I don’t want to wish away summer, but our 100+ temps have been brutal!

Nectarines

But until fall comes, I’ll be eating all the nectarines!

The Boys Are Back In Town

I picked up the boys on Friday in Richmond. They immediately set up the new Hogwarts.

And we enjoyed lots of scootering (and some of us did wheelies) in the neighborhood.

Have a great weekend!
