Happy 1st of July!

"In summer, the song sings itself. "

-William Carlos Williams

Ok, it's been a reaaaally long time (almost a year.... maybe longer...) since I've regularly posted on my blog.
No excuses, but let's just say I've kept myself pretty busy...

However, I have not forgotten my readers out there!!!
I sincerely apologize and want you to know that I HAVE been thinking about you!
SO, I hope that from this point on, I will be writing more regularly.
I have lots of experiences, tips and tricks, and other randomness to share~*

Summer is here, and I hope you are able to take advantage of the sunshine, the different bodies of water there are (whether it be a sprinkler, pool, lake,ocean or whatever form of water you can find), fireworks and fireflies, ice cream/ice pops/gelato/smoothies and all the other yummy frozen treats, and of course the longer nights!!!


So put on those flip flops, embrace the heat wave by doing whatever u have to do to cool off, and enjoy the sun and air of laziness that floats around while you can!

"Then followed that beautiful season... Summer...
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; 
and the landscape lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

How Does It Taste? -Mark Nepo
