Dog Days of Summer | August 28, 2015

This summer is flying by, soon the kids will be back to school and the cool fall evenings upon us – I just LOVE Fall! The colours, the temperatures… its my favourite season!

Even though the summer is flying by… we have had SO much fun!
Fun with our family, friends and especially our little family of 4 and fur babies! Not necessarily doing anything crazy spectacular, but spending time together, enjoying the moments and the fantastic weather we have been blessed with. A lot of use out of our family cottage which we are so amazingly blessed to have in the family as a fav summer vacation spot typically enjoyed by many!

So much in fact that I am WAY behind on my photos haha – typically not me BUT Im excited to process and upload once the summer craze is over 😉 I can’t believe its been a month since my last blog post… time flies when you are having fun!

This is the first summer that I have truly been able to 100% enjoy life! I am feeling great and even tackling things around home!
Rearranging, major de-cluttering, tackling some “pinterest projects” even, more growth within myself and some well deserved R&R!

Some snaps from my phone – until I get all of the others processed and even more to come in the next few weeks 😀
