this week

good morning! happy monday and happy nearly fall!

i took a lot of time away this summer to fully soak up the summer, focusing on the kids and work and i’m still in shock how quickly not only that it’s september, but also that this summer has basically come and gone.

we celebrated maya’s birthday in august, took a family vacation week, and spent a lot of time doing our usuals. i’ve been walking and reading a lot, watching a lot of tennis (and subsequently debating if i should take lessons), and started football again, since it’s September.

this past weekend felt like the middle of october, in th best way possible. highs in the low 70s, chilly nights. i was so excited to snag my cozy clothes, pair a sweatshirt with my shorts, go on a long run without the oppressive dc summer feeling.

going into fall, sharing some of my favorites right now, because i’ve got a few new things in the house, i feel like i’m nesting for fall, and have felt really inspired lately.
