summer's here ♥


this is the last week of school for my girls.
so summer's officially here


wow
that flew by. feels like we just started the year
i'm so glad summer is here.


i'm so glad the past is behind. we had a tough winter/spring.
we're going on a few vacations and i'm really really really excited.
really.


 i'm looking forward to the next few months filled with time with my husband and my girls
... and some spray paint

we're headed to the beach in a few weeks
so excited to take my Project Life stuff with me and get it started
all i need to do is print my pictures before we go!

and i have a whole pinterest board full of free printable journaling cards
and layout ideas ... it's the new, easy, non-stressful way to record memories and keep pictures


 then we ate this.

  6. We are in the midst of Vacation Bible School; my Kiddos are too old to attend, but they love leading the littles. So early mornings mean laid back afternoons. Love all of your inspiration, girl!

  10. My plans also include a project life book! (that has been sitting unopened on my shelf for about three months now.) We are keeping things simple this summer---lots of sprinklers on and story time at the library. And lots of coffee.

  11. What awesome ideas! I love all the color you incorporate into your home and life. I do the same thing and its nice to see someone else loving color. I'm actually back in college so I'm doing classes this summer while my oldest daughter is a counselor at a Christian kids camp for the summer and my other daughter is babysitting. No big trips planned this summer. Have a great week!

  13. Love your spray paint collection..my friend who is addicted to spray painting, would be soooo jealous. We planned on taking a trip to Florida, but decided to move there instead... So mostly we will be packing, and moving, but I'll get a bit of a vacation out of it

  14. Last summer I started reading the Bible. I really enjoyed taking my time and reflecting on the passages. When school started (I am a teacher.) I did not feel like I was getting as much out of my reading time, so I plan to resume my daily studies and finish reading it.

  16. I grew up in Washington State with all the lush green trees, rivers, mountains..... we are a military couple, and my hubby got relocated to OKLAHOMA... needless to say, it is NOTHING like WA lol... I'm trying to get used to the heat, and lack of water ;) . My new craft /quilting room is coming along, with new paint on the walls. Today, I am moving things back into the room, and discovering I have a wonderful clean slate to bring in lovely things that make me happy.

  19. Beautiful hoops ... and I always enjoy when you show photos of your devotional journaling. Very inspiring. I do the same but my handwriting is not as beautiful as yours. My summer looks busy with a lot of time spent with my elderly dad. He needs a little extra attention right now so I am spending an hour or two or three there every day. Trying to begin the task of clearing out items in his home that he doesn't know are there and never sees or uses. My goal is to clear the attic in June, the main floor in July and the basement in August. This won't get it all, but is a starting point. There are lots of vintage items there, so in a way it's sort of fun. In early August we plan 2 days at the ocean with friends, and in late Sept. (I know, no longer summer) we hope for a lake getaway to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Love your blog!
