Happy Things

This post is going to be pretty random. Starting with my current craving...Iced Lattes with One shot of French Vanilla Swirl from Dunkin Donuts. How many cups of coffee is too much? Just curious. ;)

We live in a new construction area and there are views for miles within our neighborhood. This view will change as homes are built, but for now we are loving it!

I go through weird phases with my breakfasts. Right now, I'm loving Old fashioned oats with maple syrup and blueberries. It's delicious!

I love going to the lake even if it's just to sit and soak up the views. So relaxing. I took the girls the other morning and it was so nice to do something relatively 'normal' again.

The other night, Josh grilled steaks and I made a new salad recipe. It was a lemon vinaigrette with chickpeas, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. It was such a nice break from cooking over the stove top! I think we need to make grilling a weekly habit.

Happy Tuesday!

Summer Fun

Last week, the girls made homemade Popsicle's for their evening after dinner treat (or two)! 

I've come to realize that the girls have reached a new stage in life...they love to play games! I taught them Candy Land the other day and it was a big hit!

We try to soak up outside time first thing in the morning before the heat wave hits. <3 

Happy Friday!

Our Home

Well, we are moved into our new home and we are finally settled! A little back story...we listed our home back in March, right before our state went into quarantine. Having our home on the market during that time was WEIRD and we certainly didn't plan for that. Precautions were taken, and we ended up selling about two months after we listed.

We literally looked at over a dozen homes in three different towns. We made five different offers and the Lord kept closing doors. Ultimately, we decided on a new build. A modern craftsman much closer to where Josh works. We live on a ridge with views and are just minutes from one of our favorite lakes. It is an absolute dream and we feel so blessed to live here!! It was definitely a "God" thing to have landed where we did!

We've had fun decorating, organizing and making it feel like "us". We enjoyed picking out a new dining table and chandelier!

Hope you enjoyed a peek into our home. I am ready to return to blogging. I have missed it so much. Happy Wednesday!!
