The sun in shining through our large bay windows in our bedroom and I’m lazily lying in bed for just a few more moments. Even though there is plenty to keep me busy in this house, I am not ready to get out of bed just yet.
The past few days have been a blur. My parents, who chose to celebrate their 38th anniversary with a Brooklyn vacation, have been working non-stop helping us on projects around the house. We’ve changed light fixtures, hung shades, stained wood, pulled weeds, broken down cardboard boxes, explored Brooklyn and enjoyed some delicious food in between at both local Brooklyn favorites and at home.
Daily life here in Brooklyn is quite different than what they know in Savannah, Georgia but they love getting to know and understand the differences.
Other than a few Snapchat (Healthyhappier) and Instagram posts, I’ve really been investing time with them while they are in town. In my goal of being fully present, I have been off social media for three days. I had a blog post planned in my mind for both Friday and Saturday, but somewhere between the drilling and laughter, they remained in my mind versus on the screen.
So instead of making excuses for you guys, I’m checking in with pictures from our past few days and the promise that as Summer winds down and our new home gets under control, I’ll be back here for my four to five time a week update. I miss connecting with you all but at the same time, I know that my time has been spent in the right place these few days.
Have a great weekend guys and remember, invest your time and attention in the ones you’re with versus always being attached to your screen.
