We’ve been making the most of summer the last couple of weeks and it’s been so sweet.

We had a little getaway in Manitoba. We stopped by the fair, ate a bunch of crazy things (red velvet mini donuts!!!!) and saw April Wine & Loverboy with my parents, which was awesome.

We’ve hung out on the balcony whenever possible and taken Nix out for lots of runs and my basil is growing like crazy. I’ve also read a ton of good books lately and I’m drinking iced coffee every single day without fail. The beginning of this season was so hard but I think it’s made us appreciate the good days and life’s simple pleasures even more.

Tommy’s birthday is this week and we have overnight guests coming this weekend. I’m trying to convince him to watch Stranger Things with me because everyone’s talking about it and I’m super curious. We haven’t been on the water once this summer and that needs to be rectified ASAP. Soon, I think! How has your summer been?
