taking some time to reflect upon my week…
:: birthdays…mine, a dear friend’s, my husband’s {this weekend}
:: chocolate mint sun tea
:: my {7 yo} daughter enjoying board games more these days…scrabble, life, monopoly…so fun to watch her and her {11 yo} brother play together…it also means the four of us can sit together circling around a board
:: a slight break in the heat…so instead of 100+ degrees farenheit, it’s more like 86
:: with slightly less heat…bike rides!
:: trying a new cookie recipe…just because
:: do you remember i mentioned that i would soon be sharing an entry over at leonie’s beautiful creation weekends collected? well, this weekend is the weekend. my post will be up saturday {7.14}. click here. while you’re over there, take a look through some previous posts…so much beauty
:: kind neighbors who invite us to use their swimming pool whenever we like

Happy Birthday! I’m just glad to be home after traveling to a work conference this week. That swimming pool looks so inviting! I wish I could jump right in. :)
Unlimited pool use during a hot summer – there’s nothing better! And happy birthday, I hope you had a lovely day! x
happy birthday to you and your husband! I hope you have many more happy birthdays. Sometimes just knowing you can go for a swim to cool off makes the hot summer tolerable. I hope you have a super lovely weekend :)
Wishing you a happy birthday! Hope your weekend is a good one. xo
