Ali Hedin Summer Living

School is out! Summer is here! It’s the best time of year at our house because there are no schedules, no definite plans, and no responsibilities. My kids used to do swim team so we were home all summer - at least Monday through Thursday - and we could only go to the beach on the weekends. Now that the kids are older and out of summer scheduled events, we can be at the beach and live our best summer life for all three months.

I’m always on the hunt for the best things to make my summer the best summer ever - these are my new favorite things.

How & why I’m using it all

  • The cordless outdoor lights are perfect for eating outside. As soon as it starts to get dark, parties tend to break up. But if the lights are still going - then the party is still going!

  • A pink stripe umbrella is just about the cutest thing you’ve ever seen! It comes in several colors to match your outdoor space - and take it up a notch.

  • Wood handled clippers just look like they’re so much nicer than my plastic coated handled ones. And I clip A LOT of flowers.

  • Do not go outside without sunscreen. So use a good one.

  • I live in this lip gloss. It’s the perfect shade of red and it looks shiny and fresh which is what I’m going for in the summer.

  • All of everything fits into this cute bag. My general routine is to put all of the random bits that I need for the day in a big bag like this, then drop my cute purse on top!

  • I am working on some wood burning grilling this summer - a Weber is the perfect way to make that happen! I cannot wait until I can share what I have up my sleeve on the grill.

  • Baseball games are so much more fun when you can roll out a blanket and sit on the grass to watch it. This is such a cute way to do that - and I love when blankets have handles too.

  • In the summer, we bake or grill our oysters at the beach. The whole “months without an ‘r’” thing makes me nervous. Fill the oysters with an herb-y butter and pop them on the grill in this pan and they will bubble up and be EPIC.

  • Summer in the PNW is generally not hot, but it’s getting warmer and keeping drinks cooler is mandatory.
