One of my favorite (and hardest) lessons I’ve learned (over and over again) the past decade is that we can’t be full speed ahead all the time, that life is made for seasons and some of those seasons are seasons of slowing down. While some people feel this pull toward slowing down in the winter, here in Phoenix I’ve always felt a pull toward a bit of a reverse hibernation- when the highs of 115 call me toward a rhythm of siestas and slowing down to enjoy that ice cream cone before it melts.

I’m Back! August goals and re-capping my July break…
Hello readers! I know it’s been a while and I realized I forgot to mention in my last post that I would be taking my annual mid-year blog break to enjoy some rest and recharge and think about what kind of content I want to write about the second half of the year. (Plus, with all the travel we did last month, I’m not sure how much writing I would have done anyway!) Continue reading
Summer Sipping: Strawberry delight!
After I posted my little reintroduction last week, I realized that I really needed to make some sort of fun, bubbly, summery drink before the summer got away from me.
