rosalia, blackpink, billie eilish…

wishing you all a great week ahead
haven’t come here in a while to share what we have been up to lately
there have been creeks, swimming holes, pools, neighborhood quarantine hangs but most importantly, mine and Lily’s move into our new west asheville home
the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one is always bitter sweet and i am just trying to not get overwhelmed and just take everything one day at a time
Lily is being super helpful during this move/transition and although she seems on the upside of things, i know it has to be hard for her
both William and i have reached out to recommended child therapist in order to provide her with a neutral space to share her feelings and thoughts but have had no luck booking one because none of them are taking new patients at this covid time
in the meanwhile all we can do is move forward and keep an eye on her and talk about all that we are feeling/thinking
it feels like the most non-summer summer ever but, one day at a time right?
happy friday and happy weekend friends

creeking in montreat this past sunday
finding our way through this asheville summer
i’ve been trying to not think about all the canceled summer travels we had planned for this summer as well as trying to not be too nostalgic about previous summer travels
instead, i’ve been trying to be present in the silver linings of the situation we are all in
this will be our longest asheville summer yet and we are trying to find our way through it
some days are easier
some days are harder…
happy friday friends
i started going on morning walks again and i can honestly say that flowers are my biggest motivation and inspiration to keep doing so
neighborhood hangs
what lunch looks like sometimes
what dinner looks like sometimes
i have re-potted all of my orchids
as well as re-corded and beaded some of my hanging planters
summer reading buddies
miami memories from ten years ago
miami memories from five years ago
portugal memories from four years ago
california memories from three years ago
west virginia memories from last year
inverness memories from three weeks ago
an afternoon spent downtown asheville
an afternoon spent at the arboretum to check out the lego exhibit
an afternoon swimming with friends. this will be most of what our summer will look like since we bought a swimming membership at a local pool

Lilian
part of her ballet intensive camp last week was one hour of learning how to do your own ballet recital make up
foundation, contouring, blush, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick…
Lily did this all on her own
i can honestly say that i couldn’t have done better myself
happy monday friends
