A Summer Chat with my Shades On

I’m finally getting into the summer groove. We spent a morning this week at a city pool and it was just what I needed. Sunshine, cool water, my kids laughing and splashing while I connected with the other moms. What a gift it is to be able to hang out with friends.

I’ve been gathering up a few things to share for this post. I hope you take the time to tell me about your recent happenings and any new things you’ve discovered to help or enrich your life.

Jojo’s Biscuits

February is almost gone. We had a full week of snow last week and spent most of the time outdoors sledding, building forts to block the snowball attacks, and washing cold wet socks. I made a ton of biscuits which were perfect little snacks in between the arctic adventures. We’re so thankful for water and electricity. Ours stayed on the whole time, but I know many who were without in other parts of the country. Sending love to those in Texas!

I have some things I’ve been saving up to share with you. I hope you enjoy!

I had to cancel this year due to social distancing, so why not pretend we’re at tea together? Sit down, pour yourself some hot tea (in a cup and saucer if you’d like) and let’s chat!
