holidaying

Our extra-long weekend was extra-full with good things.












:: homemade blueberry pancakes
:: sunshine, lots and lots of sunshine
:: local, organic cherries
:: refilling the sandbox (finally!)
:: popsicles
:: corn on the cob
:: reading outside
:: resting outside
:: eating outside
:: playing outside
:: spending every possible minute outside (you notice the theme here...)
:: and possibly the most beautiful apple pie ever baked

Despite the almost constant mess in the house, I allowed myself to be drawn outside for hours on end to soak up all of the goodness the fresh air and sunshine could provide.  I'm not worried, the mess will still be here the next rainy day.

Hope your weekend was full of wonderful holidaying too!

  1. A weekend made of dreams. . . I love sharing these special occasions with you. Despite the distance, I love that our families are growing together. My children love to see what yours are up to and finding commonality in their young lives!

  2. Gorgeous pictures, as usual! Your hydrangeas are to die for!! Love the heart shaped pancakes :), the sandbox and organic cherries, love the lounging outside on a blanket too :). Wish so much we could do that, but this is the time of year is when we hibernate inside from all the heat!!

  3. First, I LOVE the hydrangeas in so many of your photos.

    Second, I hear you about the constant mess inside. I feel the same way about our home. It drives me nuts, really, but I'm trying to let it go. I know this season is short and it won't be long before it is fall - then winter - and our homes will be spic and span!!
