plant based day of eating
These are literally the days I live for. I love to walk out on my deck and feel that balmy air on my skin. I live by the water, so there is a mixture of salt and tide on the breeze and while some people are turned off by the heat waves, I embrace them. These are when I feel the most: Me. In another life I may have lived in the tropics, but being in New York, I wait all year for these glorious three to four months.
After walking the kids to the bus, my littlest guy wanted to play outside. We just walk ourselves around the yard. He grunts at what he wants to check out (he is still working on his words) and I just follow him.
I really find it hard to believe that school is ending for my kids for the year. I am pumped for summer but I feel like it goes even faster. We almost have just as much of a schedule during those summer months then we do over the school year.
The kids are going to be in some recreation programs and some week long camps that I am excited to share on here. What I am most excited to share, though, are our adventures. When I am off from work, I love doing day trips with them to a cute town or even just spending the day out at the beach. And I’d love to share what I bring along to those outings, cause in a small way I feel that it may be helpful to have just another mom trying her best to be healthy but also enjoy her life without being miserable on a diet.
I would love to know what you are looking forward to most about this season : )
