Hi there, prepared this ahead of time so really hope its posts when it is supposed to. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, hard to believe July 4th is just about here isn’t it! Once July 4th arrives, to me summer is on the high speed highway to fall.<\/p>\n

Though fall is my favorite season, I am enjoying summer very much so far and want it to stick around a while….I am just getting into my summer mode:) \u00a0Here we go with this weeks Seven on Sunday-<\/p>\n

Very\u00a0tasty and flavorful, also very pretty:) I will be making this for our July 4th BBQ, \u00a0a great side dish, found at Cooking Classy. It is easy, and can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge. \u00a0Click here to see the complete how to.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

4 A SUMMER ARRANGEMENT I AM VERY PROUD OF AND AN EASY FLORAL HOW TO !<\/strong> So we had friends over for drinks and I picked up some pretty summer flowers at Whole Foods and created small arrangments in bud vases. A few days later they were still going strong so I decided to experiment with a look I had been wanting to try. In fact it gave me a few ideas for a summer dinner which I might plan for August with a small group.<\/p>\n

Few things are as pretty as flowers in a big ginger jar, it is showstopping. There is an easy way to do it, which is the florist trick of using a plate (salad normally) and tape along with your oasis. It is so much easier than it looks. I found out about it when the florist made incredible arrangements for mother in laws funeral in my huge ginger jars, though it was genius.<\/p>\n

Wendy, a reader\/customer sent in her “how to” pics which are below and shows in four easy steps, \u00a0how it is done (thanks Wendy)! Love seeing your gorgeous arrangement in our beautiful vase!<\/p>\n

Just love how this came out in one of my favorite ginger jars. If you can believe it which will be hard, the few white hydrangeas in this arrangement are from my white party on JUNE 9TH!!! I cannot get over that some are still going, proof they just might be the hardiest “best bang for your buck” flower-<\/p>\n

6 ONE TALENTED ARTIST.<\/strong> Found Camimonet via Instagram and was immediately in love with her work. Her invitations are swoonworthy and she is as skilled at painting beautiful florals as she is holiday and pets, her envelopes are works of art in themselves and I just may have a hard time opening it! \u00a0click here to see more of her work.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

7. SUNDAY’S SURVEY.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0I am very aware of how obsessed\/reliant we all are upon our various tech devices and social media, and yes I include myself there but will say I have gotten really good about turning off everything (especially my ipad) at night knowing I need to get into a relaxed state to get a good nights rest and science has proven if you are on your iPad up until you go to sleep your brain is far too wired to fully rest.<\/p>\n

But what I think is really sad is seeing young kids whose iPads or phones almost seem to be taking the place of real life face to face interactions.\u00a0 I read about some schools that are allowing kids to take part of their class at home on their iPad and jobs that now are allowing for work to be done in the home which they call remote workplace (click here<\/strong><\/a> to see how many of the big Fortune 500 companies are now doing this). While it might be convenient to work in your PJ’s, the social component is taken out and to me, that is significant.<\/p>\n

I was in line at a Starbucks the other day and there were several younger adults (all part of some group) \u00a0in front of me and every single one was on their phone and not a word was said among them.There are now countless articles on the perils of encouraging this dependency and the isolation that ensues cannot be a positive thing. So I know I<\/em> think it is out of control and it actually scares me to see an entire generation so totally dependent on a tech device that has now included a large degree of how they socialize Would love to know if you agree or feel differently. Choose all that apply-<\/p>\n
