“Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patienc “Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson When you’re watching the sunset over the water, everything in you just slows down. I love that feeling of just being lost in watching something so beautiful! Where is your favorite place to watch the sunset, or sunrise? 🌞
Sometimes you just need to spend your mornings cur Sometimes you just need to spend your mornings curled up with a niece by the fire. When we went camping ⛺️ last month, despite it being August, the mornings were still a bit chilly! I was super grateful I had brought a sweatshirt and hot cocoa! I was also super grateful for my detailed packing list! 📝 If you’re thinking of going camping, check out my most recent blog post (the link is in my bio) to see some of the things you shouldn’t forget! What are some of your essentials when you go camping? ⛺️
Close your eyes. Picture your happy place. Where Close your eyes. Picture your happy place. Where are you? In this insane world we’re living in, if you can’t physically get to your happy place, make sure you at least spend some time closing your eyes and refocusing!
I love clouds! ☁️When I see amazing ones like I love clouds! ☁️When I see amazing ones like this I just picture God there with a paint brush, painting us this beautiful picture to enjoy! I took this picture at Lake Michigan when we went camping. The beach was just down the dunes from our campsite and provided such a beautiful landscape, plus lots of fun for the kids!
What are you going to accomplish today before the What are you going to accomplish today before the sun sets? When we visited Weko Beach on our final night while we were camping⛺️ in Michigan, we caught this beautiful sunset! It was perfect! Just as the sun dipped below the water someone started playing Taps. 🎺 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. A sunset is a great reminder that the day is done. What’s done is done. Tomorrow the sun will come up again and you get a whole other chance to do your best! 💪🏻
Do you know we went through an enchanted forest to Do you know we went through an enchanted forest to get here?🌲 Okay, well not really but that’s what my nieces called it! Our campground in Michigan last month was right on Lake Michigan. It was wonderful to have views like this even if I’m not heading to the ocean this year! Camping seems to have become very popular this year with not having to many other travel options out there. ⛺️ Have you been camping recently? Where’s the favorite place you’ve been?
There is no way to tell you how much my heart is b There is no way to tell you how much my heart is breaking this week, and yet so full of gratefulness! On Monday we were hit with a ‘severe storm’. The sirens did go off before to give us some warning, and I was watching the news so I heard it would be worse than any storm we’d had yet this year, but none of us could have guessed what happened! This storm, now called a derecho, had sustained winds of 100-112 mph for about 45 minutes. I typically love storms. I was curled up in the basement with my pup, scared outta my mind! The screaming of the wind. The sound of trees breaking. Even the sound of the water in the toilet next to me being vacuumed out. It was horrifying! In the aftermath, essentially every household has been affected! Damage is EVERYWHERE! Iowa is made of some great people, and immediately afterwards people were out with their chainsaws helping their neighbors! #iowastrong is definitely a thing! I cried a lot this week because of my heart breaking for what we’re all going through, the gratefulness I feel that my house has very little damage, and that I’m physically okay! It’ll be awhile I’m sure till I can go to bed without hearing the sound of that storm in my head, but we will get through this and come out stronger! Thank you so much to all of you that have been sending me messages this week! It’s meant a lot!!! 🌪⛈💨 Please help us get the word out about this storm and the damage! Please share this post, and any others you might see!
We took a little adventure! Since we can’t reall We took a little adventure! Since we can’t really travel this year, we rented an RV and went camping! ⛺️It was so weird being unable to get online for a week with horrible service where we were, but it was nice unplugging and relaxing! Have you ever driven a 30 foot vehicle? 🤯 (me neither!)
I love dolphins! 🐬 ⠀ When we go to North Caro I love dolphins! 🐬 ⠀ When we go to North Carolina every summer I love just looking out to the ocean and watching for the dolphins to swim by! Watching them play with each other out there always makes me wish I could swim with them! ⠀ When I went to Isla Mujeres I had the awesome opportunity to do this! I know not everyone thinks people should do this or support businesses like this, but I do. First off, the place we visited is accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. Secondly, when you have a chance to see an animal up close and learn more about them, you are much more likely to want to help protect them! ⠀ Dolphins are amazing and I’m so happy I got the chance to spend some time with them!!🐬💜🐬💜
