Sitting on the porch at the beginning of a thunderstorm. I LOVE rain with a love that has been passed down through a couple generations. Somehow this summer has often felt like a big to-do list, and right now I'm ignoring the list and making myself sit for just a few minutes.

what we're loving now {June 2016}
Here's what we were into in June:
*posting late because of internet problems
Making headbands! - My friend Stephanie came over several times this month so I could help her learn to sew. I haven't sewn in FOREVER and this reminded me that it's fun! I made myself two cute headbands using this tutorial.
Animal Hair Salon - The girls like beautifying jungle animals with this free app. I think it's a little weird, but they take turns happily.
Visiting Nana, Dadder, and Uncle Mattie- Since Matt was gone to Asia for almost two weeks, the girls and I went to visit my family for a few days. My brother is living with my parents while he goes to school, so it was extra fun to be together. In the pic, we went to a farm to buy a bag of fresh peaches and eat peach ice cream. Yum.
Smoothies - I've long put spinach and shredded carrots into smoothies, but this month I found out that you can put frozen okra into a smoothie with cocoa powder and it totally disappears into the chocolately-ness.
Blackberries and fireflies - summer essentials, both currently available in our yard!
Currently Reading: Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts. Inspired by listening to the Hamilton soundtrack and celebrating The Fourth of July.
