Now that we are adults and don’t fight all the time, my sister’s birthday is the best thing about July for me. Thanks for the contest!
Hands down…the weather!
Summer! Warm days, kids home from school, days on the boat, fresh ONT peaches, amazing thurnderstorms and of course…Margaritas!
July means lots of music in HNL, and more to come in August. Eating outdoors at the park or enjoying the museum at night for a change.
What I love most about July is the children are enjoying the days at the pool, beach, and spending time together.
Sandbanks with my family.
The best thing about July – it’s my birthday month and it’s summer! What’s not to love?
Watermelon, heirloom tomatoes, fireflies, fireworks, cold beer and grilled eggplant!
What do I love about July? Wearing flip flops and sandals every day, and no socks!
Sunshine and seafood!
Fav thing is BBQ’s and warm summer nights
Love love LOVE picking banana peppers, tomatoes, basil, cucumbers and more from my patio garden. The only thing better – eating them all!
My favorite thing about this July was introducing my seven-month old son to his six-month-old cousin for the first time!
My only sister’s birthday- she is a great Aunt and wonderful younger sister. We don’t live close but our hearts are in tune and skype/talk all the time!! She’s going to make a great teacher and this necklace would be the perfect gift for her.
Swimming with my little guy! :-)
The best thing about July: the smell of the grill, seeing friends and family alot more than you do in the winter weather, all the lovely friends weddings Ive been too, taking my dog for tons of walks through the woods, an all the great cocktails, yum!!!
My fav. thing to do in July is swim with my kiddos!
My daughter’s birthday:0)
My favorite part of July is sharing my birthday week with my youngest son! He always keeps me young at heart!
Camping, relaxing, and getting together with friends!
the best thing about July is that we only have one more month to go until the Fall:warm days, cool nights and no humidity!
My favourite things about July are the summery and sunny weather and, to top it off, “Christmas in the summertime”!
the heat!!! i think i am part lizard :))
&& of course the bbq’ing
&& wearing non-constrictive clothes that show off my pretty necklaces !!
I love the extra daylight, the sunshine, heat and how people tend to be more casual and relaxed. Though it’s not just thing about July I love, it’s the total experience of summer.
For the past two July’s we have vacationed in Seattle – one of our favorite cities to visit! I think July is the heart of Summer, w/ lots of BBQ’s, water time and just spending time w/ family!
AH, the outdoors. It’s bliss to be able to enjoy time outside with the family.
My favorite thing by far is taking my 6 month old to the pool and her giggling and splashing in the water – the excitement on her face is priceless!
So many reasons but for me the most important is that my twin girls birthday is in July. They were not expected to make it. This year they turned 16- on July 16th – healthy, vibrant and delightful young ladies. They were gifted with Blend Creations Duet connection necklaces:)
The sounds of laughter from my kids as they splash their summer away in the pool.
And banana flavoured Popsicles!
I love that July is the “real” beginning of summer……….. the odor of grilled food wafting through neighborhoods, cute summer dresses dressed up with fun jewelry – including my Blend Creations necklaces, lazy beach days followed by sandy suppers at clam shacks, dazzling fireworks, drinks by the ocean, and an influx of friends and family visiting us to enjoy it all.
Farmers markets
Cottages!!!! My mother-in-law has this “Christmas in July” tradition when the family get together at the cottage on July 25th. Look forward to it!
My favorite thing about July is that we’re that much closer to November. Really! We’ve got a heat warning today and yesterday the heat index was 115 degrees. I don’t like hot weather or humidity (yet I chose to move from Texas to Oklahoma…go figure). Ok, I also like grilling out for dinner.
My favorite thing about this July is that we will be reviving an old family tradition of vacationing together for a week at the beach! We have not done this in at least 5 years! What makes it so special this time is that it will be my first “family” vacation with my fiance :) We will be tying the knot in October :) So excited!
This year, the best thing about July is seeing friends in the Yukon and spending five days hiking there. In other years, having a July birthday ranks as pretty cool.
Canada Day and Bluesfest!!!
My fave thing about July is the pace. It’s warm, relaxed, and easy-going. Everything slows down at work and we Canadians get out and enjoy the weather and eachothers’ company. There are tons of community events and BBQs. Love love love it!
My favorite about this July has been the WORLD CUP!
My favourite thing about July is the heat. Bring on the heatwavee!!! (again!)
I love July because I a teacher and it is the one month of the year that does not involve any school days. I spend the summer playing with my young daughters and recharging.
my bday and holidays! :)
My favorite thing about July is blackberries. We have a big bush in our yard, and it always overproduces, so the whole month of July is one giant race to find as many ways to use them up as possible. That always ends up in alot of creative recipes.
To me, July this year is the excitement of having a garden and watching everything grow incredibly fast. I haven’t had a garden since I was a child, so it is bringing back that wonder and amazement I experienced a long time ago. It makes me feel young!
It’s always such a pleasure to spend 4th of July at the beach with family & watch the free fireworks displays.
My favorite thing about July is it is the month of my youngest child’s birthday. He isn’t so young anymore though. He turns 18 this July!! It’s one of the big ones! I would love to have the torus necklace to commemorate this! How wonderful to have such an item of beauty for me to remember this years passing with. I just love all of your pieces so very much! The good weather the sun the smiles and the joy my children bring me is in abundance in July and I love the month for all of that.
My favorite thing about July is that my birthday is on the 15th! The 4th is always a great celebration as well. :)
My favorite thing about July is our family road trip, we get to see relatives in other states whom we only see once a year…it’s always so much fun.
Meals on the patio instead of stuck inside, relaxing and enjoying the view of nature instead of rushing!
The decrease in traffic on the way to work!
My favorite thing about July is Independence Day. I love the fireworks displays especially. :)
NO SCHOOL!! I’m a teacher and the best thing about July is not teaching, and not making lunches for the family everyday. It feels great not to have any marking or planning and just enjoy my own children for the first time in many months.
my favourite thing is my birthday! I just turned thirty on the 4th. ouch.
I love that people typically take holidays in July, so things are quieter at work!!
My favorite thing about July is holidays! I enjoy spending time with my family camping or at the cottage. Also love the warm weather to go to the beach or just spend at the pool!
This is probably a little odd, but my favorite thing about July is the “construction holiday”. I’m not sure if it is the same everywhere, but the last 2 full weeks in July are the “construction holiday” in Quebec. While technically it applies only to the construction industry, many other Quebecers arrange to take their vacations during these 2 weeks. The reason I love this so much is that there is such a significant decrease in the number of people/cars on the roads. My morning commute is downright enjoyable!
Wishing you all a joyous summer! :)
July! Besides my amazing husbands birthday – on first weekend of July – we participate in the Peterborough Half-Iron Man Triathlon! A wonderful event and certainly a highlight of the month!
My favorite thing about july is the weather! So nice and hot where I live!
I have so many things to love about July… but I guess my absolute favorite is spending two weeks in Colorado with my family and friends. We do it every year and always have a great time!
My favorite thing about July is camping with friends and family!
My favorite thing about July is lemonade Popsicle outside watching the kids and the fireflies.
Gin and tonics while watching the kids play in the yard, perfection!
My favourite thing about July is celebrating my one step-daughters birthday. She’ll be 11 this year, and I’m thinking one of these gorgeous necklaces would be the perfect gift for a beautiful young lady. Canada Day was a favourite too!
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Stay cool!
Friends, family, camping & BBQs…everyone enjoying the heart of Canadian summer :)
My favourite thing about July is all the little things that mean summer…popsicles on a hot day, drive ins, cottage time, floating in the lake, watching my kids catch their first fish of the season (i hope!), later evenings and later mornings…love it all…
Peaches! And other berries and fruit, but mostly peaches. :)
My favorite thing about July is the arrival of Iowa Sweet Corn on every street corner and farmer’s market!
of course SWIMMING!! Late night BBQ’s… being able to wear maxi dresses EVERYWHERE – my fav :)
I love July for the holidays,for the wedding season and for the amazing weather :)
Drinks on the Riverwalk after work. Bliss.
My favorite things about July are friends, family and fun!
My favorite about July is that my birthday is in it. I get to spend time with both sides of my family because of it. My family drives down to spend about a week with us. Its nice because I only get to see them every couple of months. Then we have our vacation with my inlaws and the entire side of that family spends the weekend camping.
The sunshine and visits from family and friends.
Favorite thing about July is that everything seems to slow down just long enough so you can enjoy it. Peoples’ schedules are a little lighter so you can visit with friends and my daughter being out of school means no rushing in the morning :) Love July!
The warm weather.
BBQ’s with friends
Hi Lace,
Comments don’t appear right away since they must go through an approval before going live. (Unfortunately we have to do this because of the amount of spam that comes through the blog comments).
My favourite thing about July is spending time with my munchkins as they are on summer break. We celebrate Canada Day, go on a family vacation and just enjoy some down time together.
* I don’t think it’s my computer but I’m not sure but I can’t read what I’m typing in the comment box.
My favorite things is bonfires and picnics.
My favorite thing about July is celebrating my birthday July 4th, and my husbands birthday July 22nd! What can be better then having fireworks just for me! It’s even better since I live in Washington D.C. and have some of the most amazing firewords around!
I love my family vacation that we always take in July!
I love all of the family time and celebrations- we get to celebrate our sons first birthday,my husbands graduation and Canada Day!!!
My favorite thing about July is my family vacation. Every year in July I go home to visit my family for a couple weeks, and it’s my favorite time of year!
Hands down it’s our July 4 block party when all of the neighbors come out and play. We block off the street, have a parade, games with prizes and a potluck. It’s like living in the midwest in the heart of Orange County. Sometimes even the mayor comes and a firetruck for the kids to climb up in. It’s really a wonderful time everyone looks forward to all year.
My favorite thing about July would be all the events and festivals going on.I love outdoor activities!
