Park and Tennis Totes - The Summer Tote Project

To continue the Tote project for the summer, let's tackle the Park and Tennis Totes.

This summer, Leah is taking a Sunday tennis class at a nearby park. This gives Alice and I the perfect excuse to play outside for an hour. Here's the lowdown on the tote ...

The Park Tote
Park Tote
This is the bag that will have a hundred things to do outside, so we don't get bored waiting for Leah and fall back at staring at our iPads.
  • Sunscreen
  • Hats
  • Rain gear - jackets and umbrellas
  • Picnic blanket
  • Books
  • Coloring books/paper
  • Deck of cards 
  • The kite I got on sale at Target two years ago
And I'll toss in snacks like clementines and granola bars, and icy water bottles.

Tennis Tote
All this bag includes is our ...
  • tennis rackets, one for everyone in the family
  • new containers of balls
  • larger practice balls
  • water bottles
  • and sunscreen
so we can head to a park at a moments notice and practice Leah's new-found tennis skills. We'd likely bring along the Park Totes ... and maybe a dog.

Read all about the Pool Tote, which is really the crown jewel of all the totes, here.

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
