May in Photos plus a Recipe

May has been crazy. It’s been a frantic race to the finish line to summer break.

Every year I say this is the year I grow herbs in a pot. And then I kill it. The cilantro tasted great while it lasted.

It’s hard to believe Alex is leaving middle school for high school. It’s hard to believe we both survived it! I can’t believe I am a mother of a teenager who is so awesome.

Parker will still take selfies with me.

The backyard umbrella is up.

Grilled BLT with cheese, s’mores, grilled pineapples and grilled peaches. I see a theme here. As promised…a recipe:

Grilled  Peaches with Ice Cream

Heat grill to medium heat. Slice peaches, coat with pure coconut oil (I used the spray version). Place peaches on grill pan, cook 5 minutes each side. Top with scoops of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with honey. Enjoy!

Side note: I will now only eat my vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of honey. It’s so good!

The freezer is stocked with Popsicles; perfect for evening porch sitting.

Parker and I celebrated the last day of school with painting ceramics at Crackpots in Longmont, CO. If you’re in the area, I would recommend you stop in and get your creative on! Super cute place.

We’ve got our grass skirt…Bring on summer!
