friday i'm in love...(with one small rant)(but mostly love) :)

I came to do
Friday I’m in Love
but I feeling so happy
from my Friday adventure
that it’s all that I want to
talk about.
😊

I wasn’t going to go far
but ended up going pretty far
for staying on the island…
all the way to East Point Lighthouse.
(Also can I complain just a tiny bit
about how gawd-awful ugly all that
metal fencing is around the site….
I mean I get that it’s dangerous
but really…that fence completely ruins
absolutely any view you have there…
can someone please fix this?
Honestly, I was so disenchanted by it
that I don’t think I will ever go back again.
Seriously. The fence is hideous.)
(Rant complete)

I made a stop at one of my most favorite places,
Mooney’s Pond.
I had the whole trail to myself for about 2 hours.
The leaves are changing color,
it was the perfect temperature,
and the sun came out while I was there.
🌞

I shot a wedding last weekend,
the first in a long time…
and doing that made me want to take the
big camera out with me today.
And I was so glad I did.
It was a perfect day to get lost
looking for the light.

Other things I love:

♥ rewilding…I know I shared this before but
it’s something I really would love to know more
about and would love to see take off and be considered
the norm.

♥ reading nooks

♥working on homework today while I was out and about
for the creativity course I signed up for…gathered items
while out for my walk today

I hope you had a fantabulous friday…
there are lots of other things I want to talk about
(like…did you read the ACOTAR books?
I am dying to talk about these! And Perfect Couple…
the netflix series vs the book! but I digress…
future posts…haha)

but I will say one last thing
because he is on my mind a lot
right now…
my dad would love Mooney’s Pond.

whatcha readin'? {goal 41::book 14}

I want Emily Henry
to be my friend.
I want to go for coffee with her
and share funny texts
and talk about
where to find the best
doughnuts
(cause she loves doughnuts too)
(and I…well….I seriously love her books).

I was not prepared to love
Emily Henry.
But I do.

I love her writing and her characters
and I completely fell in love with
Miles Novak
so I think that’s proof that
her characters feel very
real
to me.

I have read a number of her books now…
but I have to say that I kind of
think this is my current favorite.
And not just because of my crush
on Miles Novak.
Heh.

friday i'm in love...

It was a rainy Friday off
but I didn’t really mind.
I spent the day drinking coffee in a pumpkin mug,
catching up on blogs and pinterest,
making big plans for updating
my living room colors and
creating a new artsy/creative space and
reading nook
and finally getting back
to the little blue desk and
tried out my new paints.
Big learning curve…..but still so fun!

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE

🧡this movie looks so cute and rom-com-y

🧡i forgot how much i love this song

🧡still on the music…a very chill gilmore girls inspired playlist perfect for fall

🧡i was so happy to see that my favorite candle is back in stock at Superstore…I bought 3 more. i couldn’t find a driftwood scent that i liked anywhere else.

🧡a friend messaged me to see if i wanted this sesame street pictures…did I?? YESSSSS!! i love them!!! 🥰

🧡i completely forgot how much i love toaster waffles.
it’s the little things. :)

Happy Friday…I hope you have a fun as heck weekend!
I have some pretty big things on the go…
shooting a wedding again for the first time
in a long time…
my nerves are just a little bit shot. Heh.
Wish me luck. 🤞

best laid plans....

I meant to come here
the beginning of September
to say how much
I really do 💕love 💕 this month.

I love summer.
I mean, I really, really do.
But I also thrive on
structure & routine,
and in the summer…
I am not gonna lie…
I kinda let all that fly right
out my open car window
as I’m singing along
with the radio on full blast.

But September.
September grounds me.

I start thinking about balance again.
And growth. And change.
What do I want to do.
Where do I want to be.
Making lists.
Taking notes.
Forging plans in ink and crayon.

September makes me feel like
a kid with a new lunch box
and a pencil case full of hopes and plans.

September also makes me wordy.

whatcha readin'? {goal 41::book 12 & 13}

It’s that time of year
when I realize that I have
really gotten behind in posting
the books I have read
and that I am not going to be able
to catch up without
posting multiples so here is
my last read for May
and my first read for June.

IT ENDS WITH US - COLLEEN HOOVER
♥♥♥♥

I am actually not really sure
what to say about this book.
I found the writing a little light…
it attempts to pack a lot into one story.
It does make a valiant effort to pull back
the curtain on how one gets into a
situation like this…and
how a person’s mind will try to
rationalize (and even excuse) another person’s behavior…
even though
you really do know better.

Also curious about the movie now
so that is also on my list.

MEET ME BY THE LAKE - CARLEY FORTUNE
♥♥♥♥

Similar to the book above,
I found the writing a little light.
It was a nice, quick start of summer read
for me and so it served
that purpose well.

I do really love her characters
and would be more than willing
to give her other books a try.
