summertime, and the livin' is easy



so far this summer, we have been busy photographing, painting, celebrating my birthday week, tilling up our back yard, waiting for sod, watering the new sod, taking and picking emily up from camps, cheering on wil with his first job, sitting on the front porch, sitting on the back porch, reading, listening to new tunes and getting ready for the beach.

this afternoon, i am inside, trying to stay cool, and compiling a few photos of my favorite summer discoveries.

i stumbled upon copious on my bday while drinking coffee and reading someone else's blog that morning. it's a boutique version of ebay. here are 2 of my finds.

this multi chain bracelet. i looks vintage but not sure how old. i have worn it every day.


these "already broken in" frye boots. i am most excited about these. and they arrived sans dirt. if i could wear jeans and boots 365 days of the year, i would.


here are a few other items i have noticed.

this leather cross-body bag that would be cute with so many things.


and these hobo clutches for a great price. i love anything made by hobo.


new summer nail color i got for a bday treat. it's called enuf is enuf. good summer toe color.


another bday treat. this is so fun to mix with body lotion and wear for an evening out to dinner.


and my bday treat from pb. these are worn every single day but not at the same time as the chain bracelet.


and we have been streaming this in the evenings while cooking dinner.


the best honey ever. another treat from a friend. a piece of ezekiel bread, toasted, with a slice of avocado, fresh cracked pepper, and a drizzle of this honey is amazing.


perfect little summer tanks. these were a find from a best friend with a great eye. and for the deal that they were, em and i are sharing 4 of them.


happy first day of summer!

bits and pieces

summer is officially here for us and we are more than happy...and so far, it has been more than great. lots of memories in the making. i don't have adequate words for the times we have been having, so the photos will have to do the describing. and again, if you follow either of us on instagram, you have probably seen these...

last weekend we went to see the hazlehurst clan in atlanta. we had dinner here while the kids went swimming. some of our priceless memories:

on the way to the atl.

after a lovely drive in wil's subaru, we all headed to the pool.

the atlanta skyline peeking through at 6:00...my favorite time of day.


a great dinner.





and one of my favorite photos ever. pb(on the balcony upstairs) checking in with wil(at the pool below us). i love this photo.

after dinner, the pool was pretty empty. we decided to make some more memories for our children and jump in the pool...with clothes on. i hope our kids will never forget that night. (the blur is me, doing a cannonball)


the next morning we made donuts for everyone.


a fun weekend was followed by an eventful week. painting, making guacamole, lots of walks downtown, friends moving in to new homes, em hopefully learning to ski this weekend, buying some boiled peanuts today, and loving that the high in rome was 80 degrees!












and a fire outside tonight because the weather is so great.

and me documenting.

happy weekend.
