Hey y’all – Happy August!! It’s been a little while since I’ve done an Instagram Round-Up so I wanted to catch you up on life lately. You can follow me @thephdivablog

I finally returned back home after a whirlwind travel schedule. This pic was taken after I went from: VA > Chicago > Milan > Riva San Vitale, Switzerland > Geneva > Lausanne > Zurich > Lake Como > Siena > Rome > Chicago > Back in VA! 

Then, I soaked up all of the American culture I could for 4th of July, including a bacon-wrapped hot dog topped with mac & cheese (but didn’t snap a pic b/c it was too disgusting and delicious). 

I’ve done lots of good eating lately and if you follow me on Facebook, I’ve posted the links to some of these recipes like this Balsamic Grilled Steak. 

 

We had the pleasure of helping two friends tie the knot so I shared what I wore. 

I shopped the #NSale, hard!

We celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary with lots of cake and sparkles! 

And I celebrated 24 years of best-friendship with Lisa! 

We also kept our house clean, I got dressed in real clothes a few times, and had lots of help working from the sunshine and my furry assistant.

Last but not least, if you know me at all, you know I always have fresh blooms 🙂 

 

I hope you have a great week!
