This is officially my 100th blog post! I’m so proud of myself for all I have accomplished. I feel like I’m really in my groove when it comes to this blog. That said, I have decided to make my 100th blog post about me! I thought I would share the 7 fantastic things I’m OBSESSED with this summer. Everything on this list is stuff I have used constantly this summer and I think they are pretty great. They have helped make my life a little easier or better. I hope you check this out and let me know what you think!

1. Cute Drinking Glasses
Who doesn’t love drinking out of a super cute glass?! I love finding little online shops that make awesome drinking glasses. I’m obsessed with cute coffee mugs, cute cocktail glasses, iced coffee beer can glasses, and a cute drinking cup that doubles as a beer koozie (pictured below). There’s something so special about drinking out of a glass that makes you smile or that you relate to.

2. Fantastic Crossbody Bag
A few weeks ago I decided to treat myself to a crossbody bag. I wanted to get a greenish looking one and a friend of mine suggested I check out Amazon. I found this super cute crossbody bag that comes in many different colors and is pretty affordable. This bag is fantastic for me because I can fit so many things inside it at one time! My Kindle even fits in it, along with all my other things. This is one purchase you won’t regret making! Check out the crossbody I own here: https://amzn.to/4cAtvlc
3. Coffee, Coffee, and More Coffee
As a mother of four, I need coffee like I need air. Boy, do I wish I was kidding but I’m not. I love waking up and enjoying a fresh cup of coffee. I love the smell and I love the warmth that coffee brings. Could I go on and on about coffee? Most definitely but this post isn’t about my coffee obsession. So instead I’m going to share my favorite coffee blogger KT Likes Coffee. I love it when she publishes a review because we have similar tastes in coffee. She’s turned me on to the same many great brands that I become obsessed with. Here’s the link to her blog: https://ktlikescoffee.com/coffee/
Here’s some of my favorite coffee:
- Copper Cow Coffee
- Victor Allen’s Coffee Sweet and Salty Caramel Flavored Cappuccino K Cups
- Great Value Cinnamon Vanilla Coffee Pods
4. This Fantastic Cheeseburger Patty Maker
My husband loves cooking on the grill during the summer. He especially loves making burgers on the grill. I’m not a huge fan of making the patties because I always feel like the patties aren’t the same size. Then one day my husband found the hamburger patty maker tool. It has been a game-changer for us! I love using it because my control freak brain likes the symmetry of all the patties being the same size. It also helps with the cooking because if one patty is done then the others should be fully cooked too. Check out this amazing product here: https://amzn.to/3Wh2ld9

Love this post! Thanks for all of those fun summer things! I love coffee too lol! Will definitely have to check those out!
Love your Summer obsessions. I live in the Southern Hemisphere so it’s Winter here now, but my Summer list would include books for sure. In Summer I don’t go anywhere without my sunglasses (for sunny South Africa), my cross-body bag, and my double-walled aluminium water bottle.
