Outdoor Shade Ideas for Comfortable Summer Living
Most backyards have a window — maybe an hour, maybe two — where they're genuinely pleasant to be in. After that, the sun takes over, and everyone retreats inside. If that sounds familiar, the fix probably isn't a bigger fan.

If you know me, you know I'm a frequent visitor of A Pinch of Sprinkles with my daughter. Between the delicious baked goods and the charming decor, it's always one of our favorite spots.
So naturally, I couldn't wait to check out their sister store, The Eastern Squeeze , at The Shoppes at East Wind at Wading River and it did not disappoint! The decor was absolutely over the top adorable, creating such a fun, vibrant atmosphere. I ordered the Fuhgeddaboudit sandwich, which was delicious, and paired it with a lavender lemonade that absolutely hit the spot in the heat.

And because one stop just wasn't enough, I had to swing into A Pinch of Sprinkles Bake ShoppePinch of Sprinkles afterward to grab some treats for later. Honestly, I couldn't resist!

Delicious food, beautiful decor, and two local gems that make for the perfect outing. 🍋🧁
