This has been a super low-key, but really wonderful Fourth of July. (It’s raining outside right now, so we’re kind of trapped indoors for now!)
With nothing on the schedule, it was the best to be able to sleep in. My bed in NYC is really great, but there is just nothing better than cozying up in your childhood bed, pink and green striped sheets and all. We went on a couple of coffee runs, spent time getting ready for dinner, relaxed by the pool, hung out with friends, and did a tiny bit of reading.
We all donned, of course, our favorite red, white, and blue outfits!
(I forgot just how humid and hot it is here… It’s been hot in the city, but it does not even compare to Florida. Whoa. My poor hair is only salvaged by french braids, buns, and scarves.)

August, you were long, hot, and stormy. And you were also oh so full with Jack’s third birthday, perfectly lazy afternoons at the pond, and all the brotherly love you could hope for as a mama. 🫶🏻☀️🎂🤍💫
This poem by @josiebalka came at the perfect time for me. I first heard it at the end of my pregnancy when I was feeling unfit and swollen and exhausted. Then it became my mantra this summer. My jeans are, in fact, a bigger size this year than they were last year. Many days this summer I didn’t want to put on my bathing suit. I didn’t want to go into the water. I didn’t want to wear the shorts or the sleeveless dresses. I have @josiebalka’s poem saved on my phone so I could give it another listen as a little pep talk before getting dressed. 🫶🏻 As summer winds down, I’m so glad I swam in the pool, pond, lake, and ocean with my boys! I’m so glad I wore the bathing suit for slip n slides and shorts to be comfortable in the heat waves and the sleeveless dresses that spoke to me!

My 4th went pretty well! We all had a family dinner and my boyfriend and I might head out to see some fireworks later if weather permits 🙂
