Feels pretty appropriate to break my accidental blogging hiatus with a post about pajamas and pasta salad. I’ve got a running list of other things to discuss (beach favorites, Winter park restaurants, the babies’ birthdays) so buckle up for a more regular return as soon as I can get the tiny people back to school in September.

The Lake Pajamas Summer Sale starts Monday at 10am EST. As always, you can load up your cart early if you want to do pre-sale shopping.
Sizing note: I’m a medium in their pajamas and a small in the robe. Be sure to read the recommended laundering directions. I don’t dry mine. You can dry them on low for a few minutes if you need them to shrink a tad.
Make sure you have your account set up with your information saved for easy check-out. I’m eyeing this dress, this nightgown and trying to convince myself that I don’t need this set of pjs for me and these pjs for AGW (she’s very big into matching at the moment). If I had to pick one thing to try to snag as a first-time purchase, I’d go with these pjs or this robe. If you sleep hot, the new dream knit collection is worth investigating.
PS: File this caftan under splurgy luxury. It feels amazing and is the perfect post beach/pool/shower but still want to put on clothes outfit.
Moving on to pasta salad. My friend Ashlea shared this BLT Pasta Salad recipe this weekend and I immediately added all the ingredients to my grocery order cart. I might not make the ranch from scratch (although her directions sound pretty easy) but I can’t wait to make it this week.
Happy shopping. Happy cooking. I’m off to watch more Olympic coverage. TeamUSA just won a gold medal in swimming while I was finishing up.
xo,
KNW
