Summer Playlist

When Milly & Grace opened 4 years ago, I was in charge of making playlists for the store!  I took the job very seriously and spent hours trying to come up with the best songs from a wide range of genres.  I just quickly whipped up this new playlist for the store and I thought I would share it! (We were in dire need of some new songs to add to this years playlist… I have been in the store a lot this week and am I definitely ready for some new songs that we can bounce to while straightening the racks haha).  Press play!

Lemony Loaf Cake

This is a must try recipe!! Perfect for summer. It can be a treat for breakfast, afternoon tea and even dessert!  This recipe uses greek yogurt and olive oil instead of butter or milk! It is so delicious and moist!  Maybe even better than Starbucks lemon loaf.  Our Nanny, Milly, would have loved this recipe!  Lemon Loaf was one of her favorite treats… this is for you, Milly!

It was such a beautiful wedding!  (There will definitely be a post to come with all the details!)  Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Maury!

3.  Supposedly I signed up for Match.com.  Last week I started getting emails from them saying I have new matches.  I just wanted to wish Aott18 from Michigan the best of luck!!!!! Go get em, Tiger!  Do our name proud!  Invite me to the wedding!

MatchPatty was very intrigued by this… she checked out all the prospects and I saw in my Safari history that she had clicked on one of them!  His profile tag line was “Conservative but non – judgmental.”  She thinks I should sign up.

4.  Let me think if there is anything else that I need to update you on…

5.  Still thinking….

6. I can’t believe it is almost July.

7.  I made a really delicious lemon loaf cake that I am going to post about later this week!  Everyone should try it.

8. Oh and remember the itty bitty kitty we rescued on our walk?!  We are happy to report that he was taken in by the lovely lady who runs an organization on Nantucket called Cattrap Nantucket.  They rescue strays and help with the feral cat population on the island!  Isn’t he just the cutest!!frankie

9.  Ok, that’s it!! And it is still MONDAY!
