It is summer and produce is in full swing. Ever since I moved back to the PNW, I have been more involved in local farmer markets and believe you can attend a different local one each day of the week. Yesterday I picked up my CSA box and berry share of the season and OMG . . .it looks incredible! So in honor of farmer markets everywhere; below are 5 incredible ones you can find in your global travels. Guess what? I have been to some of them.

Summer Treats

It is taking a while but it is slowly warming up in the PNW for us. We are beyond Memorial Day so summer has officially started for me. One of the things that I love the most are frozen treats but I really can’t handle the dairy or sugar so I like to find healthier options for my frozen fix. Below are 5 recipes to help do just that.

Coconut Milk Fudgesicles
Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream

Coconut Mango Ice Cream
Chocolate Nice Cream
Caramel Nice Cream

Nature’s Music

I love being outside and I love, even more, listening to nature and what it has to tell me. While I love being around people the majority of the time, outside is my time to reconnect, ground myself, and enjoy the beauty of the earth. Here are 5 nature sounds that I love to hear.

Road Trip Packing Items

It’s the season for road trips and I take them in abundance. While my destination, the length of the road trip, and the people who travel with me, change with each trip; there are fundamentals that always remain. Here are 5 items that I will always have in my car before starting a road trip.

  1. Sunglasses are an absolute must and I have been on trips where I have forgotten mine. So when anyone is traveling with me, I also have extra sunglasses for everyone in the car.
  2. Water is something every passenger has in my car and I have it in bottles that can be reused for the duration of the trip. You never know when you desperately need that sip of water.
  3. A blanket that can be used to cover things, sit on, sleep with or even dry off with.
  4. Kleenex because drive-thru napkins are just so harsh on your face.
  5. Roadside emergency kit for the . . .’I wasn’t prepared for that’ moments.
