Summer Mood

I can’t believe it is already Memorial Day weekend! Time has completely blended together these last few months. This time last year we were wrapping up our trip to the south of France and kicking off summer.

Summer has always been my favorite season and while it is definitely going to look a lot different for all of us this year (especially in NYC), I’m determined to make the best of it! I’ve been loving the slower pace we’ve been living and plan to continue that throughout the summer. Really enjoying the season and feeling grateful for the little things.

Here are some of my summer plans…

— Make aperol spritzes and other summery cocktails — I also want to try Una Lou Rose (Scribe Winery’s rose in a can!)
— Go on long bike rides
— Plant / arrange flowers — I’ve been getting fresh flowers each week and have really loved the routine of arranging them
— Picnics in the park
— Read more — I tend to read more during the summer and am making it a priority this year; less screen time! I want to read Elena Ferrante’s novels and this book.
— Go on hikes
— Needlepoint — I’m halfway done with my first project and I’m hoping to pick up another canvas to work on during the summer!
— Rooftop sunbathing
— Practice photography — I’ve been taking my film camera out on our evening walks & want to practice with my DSLR more
