Hi everyone! We are settling back into life at home, and it's been so nice to enjoy summer in the mountains a bit. The boys have spent a lot of time outside playing, collecting sticks, and driving tractors.
We also got to meet our good friends at the pool one day, and the boys had the absolute best time.
Here's what else has been going on behind the scenes!
Currently...
Reading...
This one came as a suggestion from a good friend! Demon Copperhad is a story of a boy growing up in the foster care system in Appalachia. I'm just getting into it, but so far it's fascinating and a bit of a change up from my normal historical fiction or women's lit. The writing in it is stunning.
Listening...
I've been on a Hawaii kick lately with our latest trip. This song always takes me back. It was our wedding song too.
Watching...
I'm so excited about the latest season of The Summer I Turned Pretty. What a fun show to watch.
We also watched the latest Snow White when it came out on Disney, and I really liked it.
Buying...
I picked up a few new travel items before our Hawaii trip that worked really well. First are these bags were perfect for organizing toilties and a good size for taking the liquids out of your bag at the airport. These are nice quality for a super low price.
I also got these new luggage tags, and they were really nice.
I also really liked these study tags for labeling your luggage. We had to go on three different flight to go to Hawaii, each way, so I wanted to make sure our luggage had solid labels. I liked that they came in fun colors for each person in the family.
Plus the boys got a HUGE kick out of these adorable Bluey travel pillow sets. The blanket was actually super soft, and they loved it. I highly recogmend this little set!
Wearing...
I've been really into athletic dresses for summer. I got this one and LOVE it.
Eating...
We came back to our garden, doing so well! We've been eating fresh cucumbers, squash, tomatoes and green beans since we got back.
Drinking & Indulging...
I indulged in a run at the Biltmore the other day to see flowers. The boys had a few days of camp this week, and I really needed to work, but I snuck away for just part of the time to get my run in here.
It's my favorite!!!
Anticipating...
We still have our extended family trips this summer with both the Hub's family and mine. We are looking forward to spending time with everyone.
Praying...
I'm praying for all the victims of the floods in the past few weeks. After what we went through in Asheville last fall, it all hits closer to home how devastating flooding can be. It is feeling very scary how often these flooding events are happening, and certainly spooked about it.
I'm praying for all of the families who lost loved ones, and especially the ones who lost kids at that camp. It is truly unthinkable to lose your kids like that. My heart goes out to them.
That's it for this week! I hope everyone has a fun and festive week ahead.
