out of office

lake-at-night

 

Hi friends! Just a quick note to let you know I’ll be absent from the blog for a week or so. I’ll be spending the last days of summer and ushering in september with my hubby + littles in the poconos! It will be our first extended vacation as a family, and we’re anxious to get on the road to relaxation. You can follow our adventures on instagram of course, and when I return I’ll be revealing my new + improved website!! It’s been in the works for a a few months now and I can’t wait to share it with you. I hope you’re soaking up the last bits of summer with your family and friends…bye for now!

peace in the poconos

I took quite a few photos during my weekend in the Poconos, but keep coming back to these…this is my breathing space. Can we all just take a moment and collectively exhale? My lovely hosts Chanee + her husband suggested we canoe to dinner and I jumped at the idea, being the lake lover that I am. We were met afterwards with this beautiful and serene setting. It’s incredible how much peace nature can provide…canoeing, kayaking, and a long walk really helped to clear my mind (not to mention the wine and girl talk). The mountains were thankfully still rich with fall color,  and the air was delightfully crisp. I couldn’t help but imagine our family spending time there, creating memories like the ones I hold so dear of my childhood. Even though I am now slightly obsessed with looking at Poconos real estate, I returned home feeling refreshed + grateful. How lucky I am to be greeted with these smiling faces, and have so much love under one roof.
