{Top Ten} July

The fact that it's already August makes me feel a little anxious and panicky. Summer break will be over soon, which means early mornings and busy schedules will crank back in. I just really wish I could slow down time...I'm all of a sudden acutely aware that we only have four short years left with our son at home! Can someone pass me a paper bag, I'm starting to hyperventilate.

Well, he is on week two of away-camp, so maybe the anxiety just comes from missing him. Or the PMS. Now that I think about it, I'm sure it's the PMS. ;)

Enough ramblings...today's post is actually not about my monthly cycle, but a recap of the comings and goings, happenings and events at Sugarplum Casa in July.

We spent a few days exploring Montana before my sister's wedding... it's one of our country's most beautiful areas.
Our backyard makeover continued with an updated Patio Dining Room.
In-N-Out 'secret sauce' recipe...need I say more?!

You guys went cuckoo for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so I scoured the racks and shared tons of the best stuff in a series of Dressing Room Diaries.

The {Trip Reports} of our Alaskan Cruise continued with Skagway... a picturesque town and majestic countryside. Mr. SP and I were also treated to a rare photoshoot together.
The LPD....little pink dress....styled two ways for {Day to Night}.
Our house, in a 10-page BH&G Refresh Magazine spread. #Icanteven

If I were a dress, I'd be this dress. It was certainly my favorite look from the cruise!
The Breakfast Room has already come a long way... and we haven't even started the decorating part!
I'm hosting a fun, back-to-school event at the Container Store, and I'd love if you came out!!

I also introduced a new {Sugarplum Picks} series and page...click this image in the sidebar anytime for a round-up of my favorite items and what's in constant closet rotation!

And finally, we had another round of everyone's favorite Sugarplum Style.
August is set to be a another doozy as we celebrate Summer with one last trip, continue with room makeovers, and I finally get to reveal the big secret that had me dashing to NYC in June! Happy Monday, lovebugs...I hope it goes easy on you!
