Sooooo ready for summer…
Our whole house–seriously, summer can’t come soon enough!! My son is ready for school to be over & getting him up in the mornings is getting to be more of a chore. My daughter is eagerly waiting for the beach. I’m just ready for a break from the daily grind. We planted our flowers weeks…

This is where we start…
So, this is all new for me. I’m not someone who usually shares much about my life–unless you happen to be close family/friends.
