It's been a bustling kind of week. And, I'll admit, this writing on the blog regularly thing is more difficult than I remembered. How in the world did we do it back in the day? Maybe it's that we didn't have so many other outlets (insta, twitter, facebook, pinterest, etc. etc. etc.) to drain our ideas and energy? It all feels noisy and I'm just trying to poke my way through to find some light. :) Thanks for doing it with me.

Hope your long weekend is just the best. We're hopping on a $20 double innertube with a cooler in the middle and floating down our hometown river. Nothing like a little free entertainment to lull away the last days of summer. I'm currently searching Pinterest for the best sandwich recipes. Cheers!
