This past weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the whole year! Every year on the Friday and Saturday before Labor Day, is Swiss Days in Midway, Utah. They have a giant boutique with really good quality products! It is always a mad house and it is the only time that I will go into the crowds to go shopping! I really do not like crowds all that much, but I look forward to this boutique in spite of all the people! :)

Today I have a fun guest post from Coral Reef Swim. If you are in need of swimwear you need to check this site out! Where else can you find swimsuits at this price?..and they are offering a special discount just for Pink Polka Dot Creations readers! It doesn’t get much better than that! ________________________________________________________________________________
Have you heard about Coral Reef Swim yet? If not, it is a must! They are a local Utah company that has designer quality swimming suits at an extremely affordable price.
I don’t know about you, but in the summertime when it is hot, I don’t really like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking meals…so I always like to stock my pantry, so that I can usually pull a meal together in no time at all! Really I like to have my pantry stocked all of the time, but for some reason I tend to do it better in the summer time!
I decided that for my post today I would share a pantry shopping list that I put together:

I know yesterday was Father’s Day…but I was the one that got just what I wanted this weekend! I got to go to the Wanship, Utah Antique Sale! The sale only happens once a year and it is always on Father’s day weekend!
Today I have a couple of new favorite finds that I am totally in love with! :)
My first favorite find… I got at “All that Stuff in the Barn” in Midway Utah, but I have heard that they have them at Kneaders and I also saw one at Gardner Village in the Old Mill shop.

Yesterday I got to meet Kristi from I Should Be Mopping the Floor! I do a guest post once a month for her blog, so I felt like I knew her already! If you have never visited her site you are missing out, she has some great ideas and beautiful pictures! Take a minute and check it out!
She is in Utah for a blogging conference close to my home, so we made arrangements to get together for a short time.
She was so sweet and I felt like she could be my sister (although she would be a younger sister!). She has helped me a great deal with my blog and is so willing to share her information on things that I can do to improve. But she is also just a kind, fun, sweet person to be around and the time went by way too quick!
We were able to visit while we made a stop at Gygi’s, one of my favorite places to visit. I got some lemon flavored chocolate that I want to try out really soon… think lemon dipped strawberries for Mother’s Day! After that stop we went over to the Blue Lemon for lunch, another one of my favorite places to eat. So I gave Kristi a very short tour of a couple of my favorite places in SLC.
I had a wonderful time and I am so glad that I got to meet her! Thanks Kristi! :)
After I let her off to go back to her blogging conference, I made a little detour over to Trader Joe’s since I was so close, I could not pass up the opportunity to just go over there and browse and do a little shopping. Of course, I bought some of their flowers, just because… and I brought them home and arranged them.
I love the bright yellows and purple is this fun arrangement! I got the yellow mason jar at Steinmart and have just been waiting to put a fun floral arrangement in it! It is amazing how happy a bunch of flowers for $5.99 can make this girl! :)
So I got to spend the day with a great friend, we had good food, did a little shopping and flowers to top it all off. I would say that this was pretty much a perfect day!
I hope that you get to spend a perfect day with someone you love real soon!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Today I want to share a few new favorite finds that I found!
I have lived in Utah most of my life and I had never heard of Pirate O’s! It is such a fun store that I just happened to find last week! My husband and I were driving down the road and I yelled, “turn around!” Well, I really said can you please turn around right here! :) And being the great husband that he is…he did! This is what caught my eye:
My husband and I went on our annual trip to Arizona! We were gone about 10 days and we had a great time. We have been making this trip for about 7 or 8 years now! We go down for baseball Spring Training, (or at least that is what my husband goes for!) I go for the wonderfully warm weather and to just get away from it all!
My DIL and I have been waiting for a picture of us and the Pioneer Woman together; it was supposed to be emailed to us from the RootsTech conference… but it has not come yet and I decided that I would go ahead and do this post. When the picture comes I will insert it later. :)
This is a picture that she signed for me!
I asked my DIL if she would consider writing this post and she very graciously agreed! So this is her version of what happened that day! Continue reading
This post brought to you by Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine.
Summer is going by quickly and I still have a lot of activities that I want to do with the grandkids! We love to be outside on the back patio where we are in the shade and can enjoy the beautiful summer days and evenings, so I like to have meals that are quick and easy…but that the kids will like. One of my go to meals is tacos! I just cook the meat and then season with Pace® Picante Sauce. Top with lettuce, cheese and a little sour cream and you have a great meal that all ages will enjoy!
