July Favorites

July has gone by quickly! We have had some busy days and some quiet days, we have spent some time with friends and also alone together as a family and both were needed. Today, I am sharing my favorites for the month.

#1 Sunflowers

This is my 2nd year planting sunflowers and I have enjoyed seeing them as I drive up to my house. I occasionally cut one or two and bring them in. They bring sunshine and happiness indoors. We also went to a sunflower field to take some pictures and I cut a few to take home. Sunflowers remind me of my childhood and remind me of the south of France.

#2 Vacation

It is so refreshing and rejuvenating to get away! Changing up the routine and spending time with just our little family unit is important. After spending the last 5 and half months home, a week in the mountains was just what was needed. Cooler temps are a plus!

Expect a series of post from our trip: you can tell why it is called the Great Smoky Mountains!

#3 Hiking

Still being able to hike and to discover new state parks despite the heat has been wonderful. We usually don’t hike much in the summer but with less things to do, a free adventure in a shaded state park is awesome. We have visited at least 3 state parks this month and hit a couple different trails.

A bientôt!
