June delights

outdoor showers, sunset bike rides and smooth transitions

June has felt like the most full, rich month. We kicked it off in Oak Island with some very special friends, came back to Florida and had what ended up being our final weeks in our apartment. We just moved into a friend’s house for the summer while they spend it in Maine (what a dream!!). Packing up our apartment in three days felt pretty wild and moving in this summer heat was no joke, but we are here and we love it. From toddler cuddles, coffee dates, grilling by the pool, reading so many fun fantasy books (and a few others sprinkled in too.. I’m currently reading The Nurture Revolution by Greer Kirshenbaum), soaking up the sun and things just falling into place effortlessly.. I am feeling so thankful and full and loved and cared for.
