Happy Summer Breakfast in Bed

Our once-a-month breakfast in bed!

…

We did finger foods and dipping sauce for this go round. I’m sure my bed will be sticky for weeks to come!

…

Food was gone in five minutes flat!

Grape and blueberry races lasted longer than the actual meal.

So thankful to God for these moments with my kids.

Happy summer!

As soon as they get off the bus the party begins! We had nearly twenty little friends come over for snow cones, water balloons, frog catchin’, and goodies.

The treats and favors were a “summer bucket list” theme.

My favorite party decoration. I LOVE daisies!

Whatcha going to do this summer?

Springtime Photoshoot

“Every intoxicating delight of early spring was in the air. The breeze that fanned her cheek was laden with subtle perfume and the crisp, fresh odor of unfolding leaves.”

Gene Stratton-Porter (The song of the Cardinal)

…

“The world is exploding in emerald, sage, and lusty chartreuse – neon green with so much yellow in it. It is an explosive green that, if one could watch it moment by moment throughout the day, would grow in every dimension.”

Amy Seidl (Early Spring: An Ecologist and Her Children Wake to a Warming World)
