Sometimes I am amazed by how quickly time passes. Other times how slowly. I very vividly remember one particular summer of my youth that lasted forever. I couldn’t have been more than six years old. I thought summer would go on and on and on, and for me it did. The season stretched on endlessly — splashing in the little pool in the backyard, watching the afternoon sun stream through my grandmother’s kitchen window, laying on the couch confident I wasn’t wasting a moment of time because tomorrow would be just the same. It has never felt quite that way since. The older I get the quicker time slips by. I try my best to find beauty in ordinary everyday moments and soak up as many of them as possible. I want each season to feel special and lasting, especially for our daughter.

I have big plans for August. We are heading to the beach later this month and I cannot express how excited I have a few days for consistent beach time on the horizon. It’s been hot and we’ve been cooped up trying to stay cool these last few weeks. It will be a nice change of pace to put my out of office notice on, relax, and enjoy some quality time with my family. I have grand plans of going to dinner just JD and I one night. Fingers crossed that dream becomes a reality.

As for the blog — I have three mostly completed drafts on the agenda for this week and next and am very seriously trying to get my act together to shoot some outfits. I know I say this nearly every month, but it’s something I really would like to get back into sharing on a regular basis. I just need to figure out a better set up for facilitating that.

A few other fun things coming up that I am excited to share as well!

But that’s all for now.
