Eating This Week 6.29
The kids are living their best lives at sleepaway camp this week, so our meals will mostly be takeout or cereal—because mom’s taking a break from cooking. BUT, I didn’t want to leave y’all hanging on dinner inspo, so if we were all together, this would be our dinner line-up!
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
S’mores taste better in a cone…and a few other favorite camping meals and snacks we love!
The secret to the best Lavender Lemonade – perfect for poolside cocktails.
Mabel and Sprinkles had a photoshoot last weekend – and they crushed their photos.
We go through so many pairs of these goggles - they're easily our most re-purchased item every summer.
We tried a new drop-off strategy for summer sleepaway camp and it was a game changer!
Fun Pops from the '90s still taste exactly how I remembered from childhood.
Bringing back the Spicy Rosé Spritz from last summer.
It’s pool mahj season and my pool party reel was SO fun to create!
Cozy Earth just launched their Classic Resort Towel in the prettiest lemon color. Use code CE-CAROLINACHARM at checkout for 40% off!
This Camp Stamp was the MVP of packing this year. It saved me from writing the kids names on 482 camp items by hand!
I think my favorite margarita in Charlotte is the Tommy Margarita from Puerta!
I’ve been using this serving tray on repeat for snacks, fruit bowls, and those $2 tumblers. It basically lives outside with us now.
THOUGHT DROP
I tackled my Tupperware drawer this week, and now every piece actually has a matching lid! Usually, it’s a disaster with mismatched lids or no lids at all because Caroline is always stealing them for her slime. But now everything matches, and I’m honestly living for it. Small wins, right? Maybe I’ll tackle the junk drawer next…
