Solo Aqui: Eating Midnight Sunshine

Overwhelmed. Yes. Over...whelmed. That's how I have been feeling these last few weeks.Working too many jobs (3!), stressing about purchasing our new home (yay!), planning to move (uhg), just being a mom...shall I continue? And so, like with any overwhelming situation I decided to go for a walk.

 On our walk we encountered blackberry bushes that were loaded with ripe delicious berries. We stopped, popping those little deep purple clusters  into our mouths. Their reminiscent tang electrifying my senses; reminding me of hot summer days, rolled up jeans and that lusty summer breeze.

those berries who drink in sunshine and squeeze the ink out of midnight rejuvenated my soul. Giving me the sense of ease I had been longing for. I went home knowing I could continue no matter what "whelming" task presented itself.

I think I shall go back to those berry bushes again tomorrow...

Our Wandering Place

The rain has stopped. The sun is out. It is time to go and play! I am taking this weekend off to run through the woods, play in some sand (hopefully!), Sleep outside and just be.

We are headed out to our wandering place. A place those steps lead. See you all back in this space on Monday with a fabulously fun toddler activity. Until then, wishing you and your family a bright, happy, and refreshing weekend!

I need this

Yep, this is what I need...a day outdoors. I am going to play today and hopefully come back with some awesome outdoor adventures to share with you. Or in the very least, a little boost of inspiration. Life is busy, as usual, and I think I just need a little breather.

So, I am going to head outside. No more house hunting (more to come on that one!), beading, stamping, fretting, moaning, and so forth. Going outside. See you tomorrow in this space with a tasty stuffed pepper recipe.

Until then my friends. Have a lovely and relaxing Saturday.

XOXO,
Julia
