My favorite design blog, Young House Love, just did a fun July Superlatives post of their most useful and memorable posts from the last month. Fun! I thought I’d steal borrow the idea since the goodies always tend to get buried.

Your pups are just too adorable! I want them to meet my pup Mo
My Bridal Shower was the best moment of July 2011. I really didn’t think I would enjoy it (I’m not a *games* person) but I had the best time.
It sounds corny (which is okay!) but I felt so loved on that day. It was amazing to look around and see all the incredible women in my life.
OKay this is such a great post! And a GREAT way to re-capture awesome moments of July 2011.
I loved the moment I found out I got my dream job
Oh and seeing my family perform in a pageant was pretty magical too 
I could look at dog pictures all day! I’ve always thought someone should start a blog this is a webcam of their dog(s) and leave it on 24/7. I would constantly check in on it, even if all the dog did was sleep. I never get tired of watching my dog sleep! Actually, I just need a webcam of my dog and cat so I can watch them all day while I’m at work…when I come home from work I always wonder when and why he has chewed up the tissue box.
Bawhahah. Because he was bored!
Where did you get the nude peep toes you wore to Nicole’s ceremony? I have been looking all over for a good pair!
Great way to look back through the month!
Banana Republic, but last season
I forgot about the nose clip post! Hilarious.
Favorite moment in July 2011: going out for my sister’s 21st birthday. It was hilarious.
love this! great idea
love this! great idea
What a great idea — I loved catching up on things I missed while on vacation
Thanks for sharing your highlights! Favorite moment: celebrating my Mom and Dad’s 36th anniversary and Dad’s birthday in Florida! It was just my husband and I and my parentals, and it was so wonderful (we never, ever go on vacations)! Twas the best.
I have too many moments! My favorite one (well, it was a long one!) was my annual trip to Europe with my parents. I tag along on their work trips when I can, and this year I got to check out two new cities to me: Barcelona and Stockholm….travelling moments took the cake this year!
I’m jeals of your travels!
Awwwwe that second puppy pic made me smile!
Haha woohoo I bottom left corner of that “trying to plug your nose with your lips” pictures is ME!
Between this and the 7 links posts this month it’s been so much fun to re-read the “best of” stuff on people’s blogs. My fav July moment was placing 2nd for women in a 5K!
Love the plug nose with lips photos!! haha
Hehehe great post Caitlin! I love all of these, especially the nose clip! July had some good moments for me… the best involved seeing friends that I haven’t seen in ages, as well as spending time just enjoying the sunshine. This is my first summer that I’ve been a full time office worker so I’m beginning to learn that summer weather should NOT be taken for granted!
Very nice! I think all of July was rather good, but I have to say meeting a blogger friend was amazing!
I can’t make a human nose clip either!
My favorite moment in July was finding out Baby is a GIRL!
Congrats on your bebe girl!
What a cute picture of Maggie! Dogs are so resourceful
I just got Little Bee from the library! Can’t wait to start reading it!
PUPPY PICTURES!!!! <3 aah, love them so much! <3 xyx
I’d love to read those books!!
Just started reading Little Bee…Love it!
LIttle Bee was great! My favorite moment in July was yesterday when I got to see my baby BOY via ultrasound!
So exciting.
Oh I remember smiling so wide after scrolling through the Human Noseclip montage. I can’t help but be a little sad though…I can’t do it!
this weekend! a tradition where 12-15 of my husband’s friends stay with us all weekend and engage in some crazy, funny and very memorable moments. They are all married now and in their late twenties and thirties but I swear they think they are in college again…I just sit back and observe. It always is such an awesome time!
PS. The Panda Puff French Toast was awesome! I added dark chocolate dreams peanut butter and it tasted like a peanut butter cup. soooo good!
My last day of grad school summer session was my favorite July moment. It marked the halfway point in my master’s program!
Ever since you posted your 10 Questions post, I’ve been obsessed with the Wedding Buzz forums. Seriously. I don’t want to post though because I’m not engaged yet. Haha.
Thanks for giving me another distraction.
Hah I think there’s a “weddings on the brain” forum for those who aren’t engaged yet
geeze, you blog a lot girl!
Love this recap! I loved all of July as I was travelling between Dubai, London and Prague. Even though I am currently living in Mumbai, I will always consider London ‘home’ so it was nice coming back!
I think that picture of Maggie is greeting card material.
You’ve definitely had a busy July!! I’d have to say my favorite part was when Michael moved in.
:)
Love this post!
My fav moment of July 2011 was my hubby and I deciding that we’d start trying for a baby, NOW!
I’m so sad it’s almost August – that means I have to go back to work soon! (I’m a teacher) Summer went by tooooooo fast!
I think my favorite moment of July was running a fast and strong 5K the morning after pulling on a tug of war team (yay for small town fairs!) AND stopping to check on a fellow runner who was struggling. I didn’t care if it wasn’t a true PR, I just felt GREAT!
Fun post – you should do one for the end of every month!
Yay congrats on your 5k!
My favorite moment of July is a no-brainer. My boyfriend (now fiance) proposed to me on the 4th!
Happy engagement!
Love this post!! I have a lot of great moments from July. Eating my way through Chicago with the husband (chicken and waffles = amazing), visiting my mom in Florida (and eating way too much there, too!), my visit with my work friends the other day (including a fluffernutter cupcake… yum!), and running 8 miles with my husband last weekend (this weekend is 9 miles… yikes!). This month was great and went by wayyy too fast!
Thanks for the book love! Did you know that Operation Beautiful is an absolute steal on Amazon right now? Anyone that doesn’t already own it SHOULD!
What a great way to recap the month. I loved both of those guest posts! I’m looking forward to (hopefully) others in August!
my birthday last week!
Happy belated birthday!
You had an awesome month of posts!!! Seriously I can’t choose a favorite
Had a fun day with my husband on his birthday. Nothing else too exciting happened in July except getting a filling at the dentist. Umm…whoo hoo?
I had so many wonderful moments in July – dancing at my sister’s stagette takes the cake though
