Happy Friday!! These weeks are going waaaay too fast…I hope you have been soaking up the summer sunshine and enjoying every drop of this beautiful time of year. Unfortunately
we are expecting quite a bit of rain in Connecticut tomorrow…all the
better for chilling out and reading Beatriz Williams’ new book Tiny Little Things – I love reading local authors (she lives in Connecticut) and her book from last summer, The Secret Life of Violet Grant, is one of my favorites.

Here are a few things on my radar screen this week…
Travel tip of the week ~ Do you like to take off your shoes on long flights but don’t want to deal with putting them back on every time you get up to use the bathroom or walk around? Save the hotel slippers left by your bedside at turn down for your flights…they are easy to slip on during your flight when you need to get up.

That’s it for this week…Almost time to open a bottle of rosé and kick back for the weekend!
Wishing you abundant sunshine this weekend…wherever you may be wandering…

I always enjoy your 'On my radar' feature! There's sadly no abundant sunshine here but I'll still have a glass of rosé while clicking on these lovely links!
I love your reading recommendations and look forward to staying in for a chunk of tomorrow if the rain comes and doing just that, catching up on my blog reading and will absolutely visit the ones you highlighted. A glass of rose sounds just perfect…enjoy your weekend Sandy!
SANDY! Good morning! OHHHHH thank you for sharing my photo and link to IG! What a fabulous start to summer we have had by being in Carmel and deciding that it would be our regular vacation spot in addition to a trip to Europe here and there! Yes, June will be over soon and I already got a call from school to go in to quickly talk about book orders and such….Oh I don't even want to go there yet!
Thank you again for highlighting my IG page. It's fun!
Happy weekend, ANita
I enjoyed visiting Carmel with Anita – great pics of a fabulous little village.
Sandy,
Not only do you take me far away in each and every post, you also are such a wealth of information with great tips and books and inspiration! That Teacher's list is so inspiring. I am printing it out and off to pick up my daughter, she is taking French Lessons in the city (while I get some work done, and catch up with my blog buddies!)

I miss this!!!! I do the slipper thing on the plane too! But Asiana has slippers provided even for coach passengers like us! Any tips on how to travel with baby next time? Sophia did fine on her bassinet, but could use more space between the basinet and my seat!
Hello Sandy-What fun to see my 'Travel Hacks' post on your radar. I love this series that you do. So sorry you missed our recent Lifstyle Blogger Linkup. We will be hosting it the first Monday of each month so I do hope you will join us each month. We need your fantastic travel inspiration in our showcase. As for that rose'-Yes! Cheers my dear!
xx, Heather
Sandy, I could not agree more…summer is flying by. I have so much going on I can hardly keep track of the day.
I love all of these links! In particular Anitas beautiful photos of her trip to Carmel. She is incredibly talented!
TED talks are also a favorite, my cousin Brian Mallman actually gave one last year. I cannot wait to check these out.
Have a great time with your guests!
