Deep into the ‘ber months but alas, permanently adding these on here so they no longer sit in my drafts folder. loved our summer and these memories deserve to be here. I took a very long, unintended break from posting consistently, and it’s just been hard finding my way back into this space again — like finding my voice and the things I want to share with you all. So I’m working on it little by little. I’m not gonna lie, the pressure to continuously post about life and on top of that, the ads (which tremendously helped my family financially), took the fun out of sharing life here, took a mental toll so while unintentional, it’s helped me realize many things. Posting for me was therapeutic until it wasn’t so I’m hoping to do things differently this time around. But enough rambling, here’s part ✌🏼 of our summer memories, a collage edition because too many pictures that needed to be here. It’s also very rainy in NJ today and I’m missing the warmer weather. 1-4) We welcomed August with a fun weekend at @hersheypark 🎢. The water park was definitely a highlight, mainly because Lucas went on the biggest slide there was and it was wild because for the longest, this kiddo was afraid of heights. Such a proud moment for him and us🥹. 5-7) and because one day wasn’t enough, we made it back again. So much to do, including a zoo! We had so much fun and can’t wait to go back again next summer. 8-12) peach picking at @alstedefarms because the boys had so much fun when we went berry picking so we k ew we had to go back🍑. 13-16) zoo time at @philadelphiazoo 🦛🦒🦏🐅. 17) a favorite corner in its sunset glory, with the Ham. 18) crispy August morning with my babe🫶🏼
