Summer break is more than halfway through and that's terrible news.

Rainy days abound but my hydrangeas are blooming and brightening the day.

It's time for cut flowers and I love it! My strawberry hydrangeas have grown so much in two years and are heavy with blossoms. Janey and Patrick I planted zinnias also for the first time and it's been fun to watch them grow from seed. ☀️

I've been a terrible Instagram poster this summer,

I've been a terrible Instagram poster this summer, because well it's summer - and with kids home, my booth, super fun furniture purchases and painting, I haven't had a chance. Estate sales and garage sales have been back in full swing and I have found so many good treasures. (The photo is of things waiting to go into the booth.)
☀️
On top of that it's summer in Ohio which (almost:) makes up for winter in Ohio. Pure gorgeousness. The sunsets, green trees everywhere, golden farm fields...I can't get enough of it.
🌳
It has been so nice to be out and about. What a relief! Hard things don't last forever. They always seem like they will in the midst of them, of course. The sun rises every day. A new day, a fresh start is always a gift.

A pretty dresser going into my booth today just in

A pretty dresser going into my booth today just in time for the Farmer's Market this evening. This dresser had already been painted white but needed a good sanding and re-coat with some distressing and a few minor repairs. I always learn something new with each piece and it's fun to work on with little expectation but "I wonder where this will take me" when it comes to ideas.

I missed Taco Tuesday by a day (It's Wednesday rig

I missed Taco Tuesday by a day (It's Wednesday right? It's also summer so I lose track!)
My churro cheesecake bar recipe is up on my blog today and I've been told they are a huge hit! Very easy to make and to serve.

On another note, do you organize your meal planning by days? (For instance, soup on Sunday, sandwiches on Monday, Mexican on Tuesday...)

I've always loved that idea but have never been super consistent with it.

Summer sun in the morning. Winding down to only 5

Summer sun in the morning. Winding down to only 5 days of school left and trust me we are all counting! I can't believe how much my kids have grown this year in every way. We are ready for everything summer. Up on the blog today I listed some summer enrichment plans I have - I always have a plan - and yes I start strong and taper off as the weeks get closer to school starting up again, but I love a little structure and the confidence that some summer retention brings to the beginning of school.

This little sweet heart...how I miss those days wi

This little sweet heart...how I miss those days with a toddler! It's definitely an adjustment when we first become mothers - we are used to our fast-paced, driven, busy busy busy days and that is NOT how toddlers think of the world. They notice things. They live in the moment. They prioritize basic needs like sleep and food like we all should do.
🌱
I hope all mothers everywhere realize that little ones don't need classes, socialization, events, activities and entertainment. They don't need to "go" at all, to anything, they just need to be allowed to "be". They need US to fit into THEIR world which is much better than OUR world.
