It’s about time to say goodbye to June – is anyone else in disbelief about that? With the huge book deadlines I’ve been working on (I am so excited to share that we are half way done!) and the everyday business life, I feel like I’ve been in a complete blur the past month. So happy I took a few minutes out to get these shots of the kids setting sail. A perfect reminder for me to stop and enjoy this coming week of beaches, holidays, and vacation fun.

While I take a breath, here are a few links you will enjoy:
