Hi everyone! As this is publishing I should be on my way to spend the weekend on St Simons Island. I was looking for a quiet place to spend one last beach weekend before it cools down and decided to try St. Simons Island. I've never been, so I'm excited to explore it. If you've been feel free to send me some suggestions on where to eat, what to see, and takeout options.
I'll be posting our weekend adventure over on my Instagram if you are curious.
Before we left life has been filled with lots of little adventures trying to soak in the last few warm weeks.
We've been playing in streams, using the kiddie pool, and embracing summer stuff for a few more weeks until Fall weather really arrives.
I feel like after the beach this weekend I'll finally be able to start to transition to the new season.
Here's what else has been going on in our little world.
Currently I’m…
Reading…
I'm a little behind with my books right now though. I'm hoping I can catch up a little in the evenings on our trip.
Listening…
This song really speaks to me lately and makes me feel grounded. It's a great and much-needed reminder about how life really is about simple things.
Watching…
I watched Resort to Love on Netflix and really enjoyed it. If you are looking for a light movie that makes you want to take a tropical vacation, this is it.
I've also watched several 9-11 specials including the one on Netflix and have been very intrigued by some of the things about the attacks that I wasn't aware of at the time. It's very heavy to watch, but also very interesting and gives you some perspective on current world politics.
And finally, I've spent much of the past month watching the twins play on this huge rock pile that was part of my neighbor's patio construction project.
The project is now done and the rocks are gone and I have no idea how I'm going to keep the boys so entertained! They loved it so much.
I'm seriously considering filling a sandbox with rocks in their play area.
Wearing…
I'm currently protesting Fall in all ways including my clothes. Give me summer dresses until it's too cold!
Eating…
We've been keeping meals light and easy! I made this simple Old Bay shrimp, roasted potatoes, and bagged salad kit the other day. It hit the spot.
I've also been busy making school lunches for the twins. I pretty much have been eating the same thing. Don't you wish your lunch came in a cute box like this?
Drinking…
I've been on a Coconut Cold Brew kick from Dunkin Donuts. Ask for a cold brew with a touch of almond milk and unsweetened coconut flavor. I then add a stevia packet. I'm just so not ready for pumpkin coffee yet.
Indulging…
The sunflowers were in bloom at the Biltmore Estate and I indulged myself in taking the extra time to drive there a few times to do my run along the path. It's one of my favorite things to do in Asheville all year.
Celebrating...
We're celebrating the boys starting preschool. It's been a bit of a transition because they've been really tired but overall it's gone better than I thought it was going to go... so that's win!
Anticipating…
I feel like the calendar is already filling up for the rest of the year including Halloween, the twins Birthday, Thanksgiving, our TENTH anniversary, and then the holidays! It's a lot to look forward to in a few months.
Praying…
I have several friends who have been dealing with some challenging situations and they've been at the top of my prayers lately. I feel like so many people are dealing with hard things right now. If you are too, please know you aren't alone. It just seems to be a very hard time right now.
