Peach and Crispy Pancetta Salad

I am on a roll with salads.  Be prepared for many more salad recipes til the end of the Summer.  They are my favorite thing to make and eat.  Plus when you have such fresh local produce it makes the salads taste so much better!!  Several of you asked about my CSA basket and I have to say I am loving it.  I use Rosebanks Farm and it has been so fun each week to see what we will get.  Everything has been incredible and full of flavor.  This week we got about 10 peaches so I was trying to think of something to do with some of our peaches and invented this salad.  It is so amazing, my favorite summer salad yet.  The crispy pancetta and creamy gorgonzola pair perfectly with the peaches.  This salad is only good with ripe peaches if the peaches have no flavor this would be a sad salad, so buy accordingly.

I have to add I always buy my meat fresh sliced from the deli counter, I think it is so much better then the prepackaged kind.  So if you can buy the pancetta from the counter- you could also sub bacon or prosciutto.  This salad is best served room temperature.

Enjoy!

Little Styles : Anniversary Sale

By now I am sure you are aware of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! How could you not be?  Every blogger is writing about it- haha.

I wanted to share a few favorites that we actually own and that are part of the sale.  I am a huge fan of the Little Giraffe line carried by Nordstrom.  When Frances was born we received a few Little Giraffe gifts and then I promptly bought more I loved them so much. Trust me when I say their blankets, pillows, and everything they make are the softest, most luxurious things ever.

If you are looking for the sweetest baby bath towel ever please buy this Little Giraffe hooded towel.  This makes a great gift as well.  We love ours.  It feels like a blanket but absorbs all the water plus how cute are the ears??  It is a great deal on sale.

also available in blue here

Little Giraffee also makes our favorite blanket.  Someone gave us this as a baby gift and I swear it is the best blanket.  It is so plush and I love the color, although if Flax isn't your favorite color it comes in 4 other colors. This blanket is great to spread on the floor, use as stroller blanket, or in the car.  If you buy one blanket for your baby get this one- heck I even want to cuddle with it!  They are rarely on sale but are now part of the Anniversary Sale.

Tucker and Tate Star PJS

Of course Sterling always wants to use it as well.  How cute are their Pjs- also part of the sale!

Hannah Andersson Robot PJS | Tucker and Tate Star PJS

Sterling's Robot Pj's are the cutest, he has wanted to wear them 3 night in a row this week.  He is wearing a size 5 for those curious about sizing.  I bought a bigger size so he could wear them for longer.

Another Little Giraffe Favorite is their Sleep Sack.  Sadly Frances Moon is about too big for the sleep sack now,  but it is awesome for 0-6 months.  The softest sleep sack ever, escpecially if you have your baby in the winter months, it is so cozy!  Also on sale:)

I am a huge fan of the Tea Collection.  Their leggings are the best!!  I swear they fit better than most leggings.  I love these stripe ones, they go with everything.
