Happy Summer! May your days and nights be filled with:


Cozy chairs, tousled hair, and addicting books.

Beaches, swings, and kisses

Flowing dresses, mini adventures, and plenty of water

And, lastly, copious amounts of picture taking to capture it all.


Don't you just love the simple pleasures of summer?
How are you celebrating the first day of summer?

Oh, Tiffany, I do love the summer feeling, but lately it hasn't been very summery here - so I'm hoping you will bring some Californian sunshine with you!
The long days are wonderful though... It's the longest day of the year today.

Woo hoo, bring on the summer! Love it! Our niece and nephew are still here, so a lot of it is being spent showing them Houston, and of course, lots of pool time.

Love, love, love.

For breakfast I had fresh watermelon sprinkled with a pinch of sea salt... It doesn't get more summery than that!

I love this post! I heard on the radio this morning that today is the first day of summer; otherwise, it would have completely passed me by. Happy summer to you! :)

This post makes me so very happy. Summer is the best, simply the BEST. Despite the fact that my schedule hasn't slowed as I hoped, I'm still seeming to find rest and joy :)

This is a perfect list of summer wishes. I always think berries in the summer and all the amazing things I can do with them. Most of all though, I'm looking forward to some quiet days. Fingers crossed I get them.
