I hope ya’ll (I laugh every time because I’m the farthest thing from a Southern girl) are enjoying the new month so far. Here’s to getting the bang out of our buck in terms of soaking up all things summer before fall creeps in. If your August is off to a sluggish start, I’ve got some suggestions to eat up August in the most delightful of ways!
1. Make coffee pancakes on a Sunday.
2. Freshen up the kitchen table with flowers from the farmer’s market.
3. Stuff yourself with {vegan} coconut-stuffed ice cream.
4. Treat your feet to a bright pedicure.
5. Eat watermelon & drink it, too >> Watermelon Margaritas!
6. Whip up a batch of Peach Berry Buttermilk Muffins for brunch with friends or fam.
7. Aim for abs. Try this plank workout on the beach; bikini season isn’t over yet!
8. Savor salad season >> Chickpea & Peach Farm Salad | Easy Summer Veggie Salad | Raspberry Pistachio-Crusted Goat Cheese Salad
9. Send a “just because” note via snail mail.
10. Keep your freezer stocked with chocolate dipped frozen bananas… all month long.

Coffee pancakes? Seriously? Where have those been all my life! I’m definitely going to look into that recipe :). I also love the idea of sending a “just because” letter. Sometimes it’s the little things in life!
I love all your end of summer ideas!! I can’t wait to try the coffee pancakes!! And I am in dyer need of a pedicure…they make such a great summer splurge!
I enjoyed my local farmers market today for the first time this summer, so that was definitely a MUST before summer comes to an end.
Haha, as a true southern girl (minus the heavy accent), I couldn’t imagine life without the contraction of you and all; y’all! Love posts like this btw, thanks for sharing!
I love sending and receiving “just because” notes! Yum to watermelon margs!
Mmm chocolate dipped frozen bananas! Count me in :)
When I saw Jenna’s pancakes last week, my mouth instantly began to salivate! I definitely need to do some cooking with watermelon. I didn’t like it for the longest time, but it’s growing on me :) HAPPY AUGUST!
