Life Lately

We spent a week at the lake with family and had a blast. The weather was a bit on the crummy side but didn't ruin it. The place where we stayed has an amazing pool with a water slide so that's always a good time. It's the same place we stayed at two summers ago so it was fun to go back. And between all of us we had 3 more babies than last time...

We also went back to a place called Dogwood Canyon and its so pretty to look at all the ponds and waterfalls throughout the park. Lainey is looking so grown up these days.

We are a few solid weeks into summer and we visit the library at least once a week and sometimes pop into Barnes and Noble, too. Lainey participated in B&N summer reading program and as we picked up her free book the other day she said, "Mom!! Aren't books so fun!?" I'm sure you can imagine just how happy that makes my teacher and mommy heart. :)

Picked up this brand new magazine while we were there all about essential oils! It is filled with great articles especially some basics on EO.

I'm reading books like a mad woman this summer because I've missed so many good ones in the last few years. I'm slowly finding a little more free time here and there and its glorious to be in the habit of reading for enjoyment again. I posted some recent reads here and I've already read a few more that I'll share about next month.

I'm working on a post where I go through my daily routine with essential oils so if you are curious about that I hope to have it done this week sometime.

These two are having a blast together this summer. I'm surprised how much they actually play together already. They are definitely a fun pair to watch and I'm so glad they have each other!
