I'm thoroughly enjoying beach week and wanted to share some pics with you!! The kids are having an absolute blast and so are the hubs and I. We have only 2 more days to go....sigh. I think our swimming, flipping, diving etc skills have improved two-fold since our arrival in paradise 5 days ago. Well, we're assisted quite a bit by Daddy and Grandpa. Mommy has been lounging on her monogrammed beach towel quite a bit!
As ashamed as I am to say this, though we are right on the beach, we have been only 1 day. The kids are terrified of jellyfish and there is no shortage of them this year! Ugh!
Another fab thing about vaca? Two date nights with the hubs in 1 week! You've gotta love that :)
We'll be back soon...just in time for the Fourth and Fireworks and of course back to making some super cute monogrammed gifts!!
Welcome to Monogrammed Everything! Blog

Personalized Aprons & Summer Fun!
If you're like me, you're itching for that first summer BBQ...maybe you already had it this past holiday weekend?! There's nothing better than a fun backyard BBQ, especially when done in s-t-y-l-e! Personalized aprons anyone? How cute are these??
Aprons not really your thing? That doesn't mean there needs to be a lack of fun and style at your shindigs! Check out the personalized kitchen, serving etc items on deck this year!
Looking for some yummy new summertime recipes?? Here's one of my favs!!
GRILLED SALMON SKEWERS!!
If you can find (or grow) them, use sturdy rosemary branches, stripped of leaves, as skewers for these Italian salmon kebabs; they’ll add a subtle, smoky flavor that hints of pine. Oil your grill well to prevent sticking, don’t move the kebabs around unnecessarily and keep a close eye on the fire to avoid flare-ups.
Recipe Directions
