i love these moments.

our foliage out back.  also a 60 foot magnolia tree, not pictured.  the trees in our backyard are stuff out of my dreams!

papaw sent us peaches from georgia

found a place for this rug (c/o L&G) finally.  love it by Tucks table.  This was all destroyed 15 minutes later during a playdate.  let them be (:

this soft rug is only $10 at Ikea – or you can get it online if you don’t live near one.  I love that Lola’s claimed it as her own.

Life has been so lovely lately.  I have been relishing time with my boys and time at home.  I am such a homebody and as it is with summer, it seems to have been mostly go go go.  But now it seems like it’s slowing down for the next month and a half.  Happy to have lots of visitors in the coming weeks, and to have had 3 overnighters already.  Makes me pleased as peaches!
I’ve also not had an iPhone for the last month due to an (un)fortunate sippy cup incident.   After the initial annoyance, I have LOVED it.  I honestly want to get a flip phone so I can just call people from here on out.   Not having a phone has helped me just look up and get over my all to often need for, when I really think about it, constant validation.  I have loved being present with my son and just fully slowing down over dinner with JB.  I’ve always tried to be particular about not bringing my phone out arounds friends, but I love how much more present I am with them without even thinking about checking it.  We do have a home phone – I’m not entirely irresponsible.  JB keeps asking me when I’m going to go get one, so I suppose I’ll march down there soon.  But ahhhhh if it hasn’t been just the reprieve I’ve needed.
I love you little lambs,  hope that you allow yourself a break today, and look up.  xx
