Sorry for the lack of posts this week but I've spent the last few days on vacation. Its been a great summer; we've enjoyed some fun staycations, exploring most of Southern Ontario. Why is it so much easier on vacation to take a deep breath, look around you, and notice all those little things that make life full and beautiful?

This post made me mindful of looking for those special mundane moments. Like how Chloe instinctually stiffened her body like a seasoned circus performer when her dad thrust her into the air...


...how fun it is to pose for goofy family photos...


...tasting juicy Gala apples, fresh off the tree...


...and watching C enjoy her first time in the hay.

I hope your summer was just as mundane and memorable!

(Vacation wasn't all fun and games. Watch for posts coming up on some of the projects we finished around the house!)
