So the verdict is in: Freezer shoes were an epic fail.

On Saturday, I chose to test the freezer theory with a particular pair of shoes that, although beautiful, are a little on the uncomfortable side. I wore them last year when I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding and suffice to say, I had flip flops on by dinner time.

I was sure that freezer shoes would be an improvement from the last time I wore this pair of heels, but sadly I was wrong. This time, I even walked a shorter distance throughout the day & still the pain of the shoes was unbearable by dinner. 

They did look good though & we had a really great time at the wedding.  Here is me & my hubby standing next to the golf course where the wedding was held (fun fact: my husband actually works at this course & maintains the greens, so he was showing them off to me here in this picture). 

On Sunday, the weather was fantastic and so we decided to drive out to a garden centre.  We ended up finding a new garden centre that was so much better than the crowded, busy "chain" store in our town. At the other store, everyone has huge buggies and trying to manoeuvre around is almost impossible at times. This new garden centre was not nearly as busy and the staff were available and helpful.  We picked out some flowers for our ceramic pots (we don't have a garden, but we're big fans of flower pots on our porch and balcony ledges), and then also decided on some long, wispy grass to put on our balcony.

The tree in the large blue pot is a dwarf lilac bush we purchased last year, that somehow survived a very cold winter & terrible ice storm. Very resilient!  

Here is the grass. We split the plants into 3 of these rectangle planters to put on our balcony (update on balcony summer makeover to come soon!)

Loving the summer sun!
