Cherry limeade sparkling water: I love water with fizz and practically lived on it while pregnant. I found this flavor via my mom and I can’t stop drinking it. Thirst quencher for sure.

Silicone ice cube trays: Chef Marcus has been making Evie’s fresh fruit/veggie purees this summer and he is eatin’ them up! These ice trays come in handy when freezing the goods because the frozen cubes are so much easier to pop out. Next up: getting more adventurous recipes from Weelicious.

Zillow: The real estate market in Des Moines is HOT, HOT, HOT and we are hoping to put our condo on the market within the very near future. With that in mind, I have been spending obscene amounts of time on this site/app. Real estate is intense.

Jean jacket: I run warm most of the time, but during the summer months you could hang meat in my office – it’s that cold. I will admit, I’m a newly converted jean jacket wearer. Pretty sure the last one I wore had metallic puff paint on it.

Other than hitting up the local pool or knocking back a cold one, what are your favorite ways to stay cool during the summer?
