Cheers to Summer Solstice

June 25, 2017 by Lisa 1 Comment

Summer is my favorite season. I love feeling the warmth of the sun and the long lazy days of summer. As a Wayfair homemaker, I’m excited to share a few of my favorite items to celebrate the Summer solstice.

The Summer solstice occurs every June 21, when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer. Sunset on the 21st won’t come until 8:25 PM meaning on the 21st we will have a remarkable 16 hours and 38 minutes of sunlight.

Don’t feel guilty if you missed the longest day of the year – there’s still lots of summertime left. And I plan on taking advantage of every single moment.

Summer Solstice Wishlist Picks from Wayfair via Atypical Familia by Lisa Quinones-Fontanez

Summer is a time to entertain, eat, drink and relax. And Wayfair has everything you need to do so.

I don’t typically hang out mid-week but during the warm weather months, I love being outside. And I kicked off the first day of Summer with one of my best girlfriends. We celebrated with Mojitos – one of my favorite summer time drinks. It was nice just to have time to talk, catch up and enjoy the sun.

I’m in love with Wayfair’s 3-piece Mojito set! I think this summer I’m going to have friends over and set up a Make Your Own Mojito Bar. I actually just love seltzer water with lime and mint – it’s light and refreshing.  And adding a little white rum and a splash of simple syrup works too 🙂

What’s your favorite summer time beverage?

Forever grateful to @d3sportsandrec for creating a space for our kids. #autismawarenessmonth #d3sportsandrec #thebronxisbeautiful #thebronxdoesitbetter #bronxkids
I will always remember this photo taken at Orchard I will always remember this photo taken at Orchard Beach. Norrin was just diagnosed with autism and I was shattered. He was two and a half years old and there were so many milestones that he hadn’t met. I was full of resentment and fear and guilt. I had no idea what the future would look like. I couldn’t see any hope or progress. Norrin is 15 and I am just amazed by how far he has come. He has taught me so much about life. I still have fear. At 15, Norrin’s autism is no longer “cute.” There are things he struggles with and things I work to protect him from. But I have hope today. For that I am so grateful. Sometimes people will apologize when I say “my son has autism.” I assure them, there’s nothing to apologize for. Raising a kid with autism is not easy. There are moments when it still crushes me. But I would not change anything about our journey. It’s made us both who we are. 💙 I am so proud of Norrin. Of all the things I’ve ever done or will do, being his mama is by far the best. #autismawarenessandacceptance
Sometimes self care looks like making yourself a g Sometimes self care looks like making yourself a good dinner. I’m learning to enjoy cooking for one. I don’t need to rely on sandwiches, snacks or Grubhub. I made salmon in the air fryer and it was amazing! I used lemon pepper, garlic parsley, sea salt and olive oil. Super easy and done in 10 minutes. While the airfare was going, I sautéed cauliflower rice using the same seasoning (and butter instead on evolution). Also I don’t know what took me so long to get on the cauliflower rice bandwagon. I am officially sold on it.

Day by day, my life gets better because I get better. It’s been a slow process. First I had to figure out the life I wanted. Then I had to realize that I DESERVE the life I wanted.
