Take It In

I haven't been very creative lately. I don't have any new projects to show you. Life has been very busy lately with working, trying to stay cool from this heat wave that we've been having, running after a toddler, and visiting with friends and family. It has been good, but busy! It has left me with zero time or energy though to get anything done. 

I am looking forward to my husband's family coming next month. We will be spending a weekend at the family cottage with them. I.can't.wait. 

It's so peaceful with lots of opportunities to relax. 

 It will be a nice break from the busyness of regular day-to-day life. It's amazing that once you get living outside, whether you are going camping or cottaging and just start breathing that fresh air (granted that it's not sweltering - THAT'S not refreshing), all the worries just slip away. You are able to focus on your family and the small moments are the big moments. Those are the memories that will be with your family forever.

So get outside! Try to find some time this summer and get to a cottage or pitch a tent for a night. There is nothing better than spending time around the campfire at night, roasting marshmallows and then crawling into your sleeping bag and sleeping in the fresh night air. Aaahhh....
