Hiking to Rattlesnake Falls in Ocoee, Tennessee

Ever since we’ve been back from the beach, both PJ and I can’t shake how undeniably ready for fall we are.

Food Between Friends
/
Life. It really is all about the little things, isn’t it? Like friends who text asking if they can come over and make you dinner and when you text back asking what you can bring, they reply with “Nothing, you just relax.”

A Few Photos From Our Day in Rome
/
I’m not sure if it’s because it’s 95 degrees outside and I would rather be anywhere else than in this scorching heat, or because I just watched Book Club: The Next Chapter, which is set in Rome, but I woke up today daydreaming about our time in Italy a few months back.

The morning sun is pouring through the windows in our office as I sit here and sip my coffee in silence. It’s not yet hot out, but it’s scheduled to be soon. And with that, and a few other reasons, we are ready for the seasons to change.

/
After being gone for 11 days, we’re finally back home. It’s funny, walking into our house it felt huge. Going from small rooms in a 720 sq ft Beach Shack to our modest-size house, suddenly the rooms felt so much larger than I remembered and I found myself feeling overwhelmingly grateful for our 99 year old Craftsman.

Whenever we make our way down to the beach, I always try to bring a book with me. As I’ve gotten older I have found I crave sitting in a chair on the beach, listening to our kids playing and the waves crashing, and getting lost in a good book.

Sweet readers, what are you up to this weekend? We’re still at the beach and had the most beautiful, relaxing day playing, lounging, and relaxing in the sand.

In a world that stresses having more of everything, and that excess is where your worth and value come from, I can’t help but think that bigger is not always better. In fact, it might be the opposite. Sometimes, all that matters is who you’re sharing your time and space with.

Thoughts and feelings on our third day spent at the beach, and how grateful I am for it all.
Read MoreThe Word for the Day
/
Last night, as we were texting Matt & Beau, they asked us how we would describe our day in one word. Last night, I told them my word would be “relaxing”.
Today, PJ texted them a photo of us at the beach and told said his word would be “relax”. I like that we’re both on the same page here, because that’s exactly what we plan to do for the next couple of days. We both have a few work things to take care of and once those are complete, we plan on relaaaaaaaaxing for the rest of the time. Maybe I’ll even turn our out of office on.
Maybe. We’ll see. Probably not.
