A Dose of Pretty

It’s safe to say that I was unsure of what day of the week it was every day this past week. Tuesday felt like Friday, Wednesday felt like Monday, and somehow we’ve now {almost} made it to the weekend. And while I might have been checking my Apple watch daily to ensure I knew what weekday and date each day was, that didn’t mean I was waiting all week for the weekend. When I was younger, I used to wish away my days to get to Friday/ the holidays/ summer vacation a little sooner. I realized pretty quickly, however, that this meant I was literally wishing my life away. Instead, I began looking for joy in the little things as a way to savor a Monday morning or a particularly challenging day. This week I noticed that what brought me the most joy ended up being light and nature. Cheers to a weekend filled with even more prettiness as we end April and begin my favorite month of the year, my birthday month, on Monday. x

A Dose of Pretty

Somehow, April will be here this weekend, meaning we’ve already completed the first quarter of 2023. The last week of March has truly felt like spring has sprung. It rains most nights through the morning. But by the afternoon, the sun is out and any hint of it having rained is gone. I’ve loved this balance of being able to have those cozy, candlelit late night/ early morning hours with the sound of the rain outside, followed by warm, dry afternoons that make my flowers happy. I’m excited for a lazy, warm April weekend with absolutely no plans at all, especially as we will be traveling next weekend. I’ll be taking the next week off for our spring break, exploring Charleston {my first time in the city and in South Carolina} for an extra long weekend. I hope you have a great one as well, and can’t wait to see you back here on April 18, 2023 with new content! x
