My favorite time of year is finally here – summer! When I think of summer, I think of the laughing, BBQ’s, sunshine, swimming and feeling the sand between my toes at the beach. Lands’ End knows how to celebrate summer – they always have the most adorable swim suits, beach towels, totes and other summer items that really help me enjoy the season.
Lands’ End is encouraging women to think about what’s in their beach bags with “It’s in the Bag”. They have partnered with Random House and New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer to offer women the best in beach essentials – including a hot new summer read and great tote to carry it all. I received this Lands End Tote, and had a blast pulling each item out, admiring it. I got a little more excited with each “goodie” that came out of the tote – I am definitely in the Summer mood now!
The Lands’ End beach towel that I received is fantastic. It is HUGE and soft, and oh-so pretty! I have a feeling that we will be fighting over who gets to use this towel.
The Lands’ End tote bag that I received is so neat – it has rope handles, side pockets and it is the perfect size to tote around the summer essentials.
The Zoya nail polish collection is absolutely gorgeous!
I can’t wait to dive into “Summer Breeze” – it sounds like a really good book, and I am going to snuggle up on our rocking swing and bury myself in this book 🙂
Speaking of summer fun, make sure you enter the iVillage Sweepstakes below! Lands’ End has teamed up with Zoya, iVillage and Random House to help you get summer ready.
Through July 8th, you can enter the iVillage Summer Breeze Sweepstakes, where you have a chance to win big! 25 first prize winners will receive a Lands’ End tote bag, nail polish collection from Zoya, and summer beach reads by Nancy Thayer.

I’m headed to the DC Metro to spend half a month with my boyfriend, Zeke. I haven’t seen him in three months and am going to relish EVERY minute I get to spend with him! We are going camping, fishing, and canoeing as much as possible, having a nice night on the town for his birthday, and spending comfy nights at home in jammies and watching movies. I can’t wait!
I just got back from 3 weeks visiting relatives, so that was nice, but I’ll probably not do much the rest of the summer – just probably do some paintings but otherwise just relax
This summer we will be camping and drag racing. Thanks.

I’m planning my son’s 1st birthday party. Got the theme and about 20 projects to do. Dr. Seuss is the theme and it will prolly take me all summer to fit in the time to make the decorations. Between his nap times and my work schedule.
