Snapshots from Summer

Breakfast for Dinner

And sometimes your dad makes French Toast, turkey sausage, eggs, and grits...

While your mom fills the house with piano music...

And you eat an amazing breakfast...for dinner.

Mornings at Home

Eating breakfast and drinking hot tea at home will be something I think I will always treasure. There's something about fresh cut fruit, eggs made with coconut oil in an iron skillet, and mom's famous tea made with real tea leaves and lavender.

It's hard to compare to anywhere especially when you add the amazing front porch and summertime air.

The feat that is running...

First run in ages...although it felt horrible at the beginning, middle, and end, finishing the 3.1 made it worth it.

Took it slow and took some pictures along the way. I always run through a cemetery near our house and sometimes it's neat just to sit on a bench in the shade...watching loved ones and family members, thinking about all the lives lived and how it puts our days in perspective.

Honk If You Love Seniors

Sending this one off to her senior year of high school...it's truly hard to believe. 

We made a little trip to Kroger the night before to get things for breakfasts and lunches -- we had the windows down and were listening to our favorite summer playlist.

It's moments like this that I wish I could frame and remember forever.


I asked her if she had her backpack packed and she laughed and said, "With WHAT?!"
Always keeping us laughing.

Her and her best friend Hannah dressed up in their neon and welcomed in the elementary and middle school students. A tradition at CAL...seems like a lifetime ago that I was in their shoes. Love both of them and am excited for the year ahead.

Summer Days

Sunkissed cheeks

Light blue skies

Bright pink watermelon

And sunshine galore

Summer, please never end.

Late Nights

Moments to Frame

Memories to make

Movies to watch

And little sisters to love

These are what summer nights are made of...
