Tiny cups of espresso coffee in our suite at the Hotel Le Meurice. Coming back to this beautiful hotel yesterday was such a special way to finish our wonderful two weeks in France. We wandered around the back streets and gardens, eating bread and cheese in a tiny little restaurant tucked up in a corner alley, before coming back to hot tea and macaroons (from Maison Laduree of course!) in our room. Thank you Hotel Le Meurice for making our visit to Paris such a wonderful one!

These Summer Days

These summer days, we rush and then
slow down and then rush again.
I’m kind of looking forward to the end of the camps
and running kids to and fro so we can really slow down
and then maybe I can tackle a project or two.
I better go now, Declan just dumped out a can of pringles.

Rosemary Coffee

A sweet surprise from my husband this morning-
he brought me coffee as I was slowly waking up (as he usually does),
and was so excited about me trying this cup
that was a little extra special. Rosemary coffee!
He knows how much I love this herb.
It was so cute and sweet.

Using Her Voice

And let’s write some letters to our Congress about this! They have to do something about all the trash on Raleigh streets.

My strong, sensitive child!!! Recently, while we were driving on Atlantic Avenue we saw a lot of trash being dumped in the side of the street.

V: Let’s adopt this street to clean!
Me: Yes, that’s awesome!! Let’s do it!
V: And let’s write some letters to our Congress about this! They have to do something about all the trash on Raleigh streets.
Me: YEEESSS!!!!

I mean...the fact that she wants to use her voice to make a change is pretty inspiring.

Our Office Space

I finally got around to reorganizing our office space today
while also adding a little decor to the walls!
Our office kept turning into a waste station of everything,
and I just kept ignoring it by closing the door
and only going in to water plants.
So I finally put my big girl pants on and got to work.
It's so easy to just let a room get out of control!
