Watermelon Jalapeno Salad

This year I joined our local CSA and I just love it.  It is so fun to get a new basket each week filled with local veggies and fruit.  Last week there was a huge watermelon in our bag that I didn't want to go to waste.  We ate plenty of it sliced but decided to make the rest into a salad.  There is nothing like a perfectly ripe, juicy,  and sweet watermelon.   I have made watermelon salads before but never with jalapenos.  Trust me when I say this combination was a real winner.  The sweet watermelon paired with the spicy jalapeno and creamy feta was a flavor explosion.  This salad was so fresh and delicious.  I will say it doesn't save that well so I don't recommend making it and eating it all week.   I found it was best the first day, and you will probably want to devour the whole bowl the first day anyways.  Make this for your next Summer picnic, dinner, or party it will be a hit!

Enjoy!

Obsessions

|| Gigi New York Hayden Satchel ||

I mentioned Saturday but Gigi New York just marked down their Summer items even more and they are also running a Sample Sale with some never before seen colors.  Gigi NY was sweet enough to send me this Hayden Satchel and I just love it.  It is more structured than most of my purses and I like that.  The color is stunning in person.  This would be a great bag for work as well.  You can detach the straps and carry it by the handle but I love it as a crossbody.

I also love this clutch in the Pewter color, a great neutral!!  Shop the whole Gigi sale here.

I am wearing the Rag and Bone Boyfriend Shorts and Current Elliot Tee above.

|| Joie Socca Sandals ||

Joie Sandals are quickly becoming my favorites.  I love the two color detail on this pair.  A great neutral sandal that would go with everything.

Scenes From Our Weekend

I feel like this Summer is flying by!!  I can not believe it is mid July already!! 

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Friday morning I started off with a run.  I have really gotten into my early morning runs.  I relish the alone time and I get to see some gorgeous sunrises.  I love our neighborhood we are a block from the water and it is just so pretty.  I have started taking pictures of each sunrise they are so stunning.

I still have yet to lose my last 5lbs pounds of baby weight (le sigh) but I do feel like I am getting toned with my runs.

Friday afternoon I hosted playgroup at our house.  Normally we have a glass of wine but I decided to try out the mini Sofia champagne cans.  They were a hit, I will most definitely buy them again.  It was so fun to drink out of the can with a bendy straw.  I made two new dips- black bean hummus and a cucumber dip that were awesome, I will share the recipes soon.

  

We spent some time on our newly tiled porch while Matt grilled Friday night.  We are loving our Ikea chairs.

I have to admit I am not a big steak person.  I eat plenty of red meat I just don't love or crave steaks.  Matt however changed my mind this weekend when he cooked the most ridiculously good filet.  It was amazing.

We took the kids to the pool Saturday.  I am loving my Mara Hoffman swimsuit.  It is the perfect one piece.

I spray painted my concrete fish I found on the side of the road.  I am getting addicted to spray painting things.

After the kids went to bed Saturday we went out to try and see the New Moon, it was so bright and big.

Sunday I did some organizing.  My jewelry drawer was getting out of control I could hardily open it.  I clearly have a jewelry hoarding problem but now I can at least see everything!

Have a great Monday!
