Summer Fun! Enjoy your weekend!

June 22, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 4 Comments

Summer afternoon–summer afternoon, to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

Henry James

Hello! Happy Weekend! What are your plans for the weekend? Are you going to make the time to do something fun?

Perhaps a walk in the sand,

a swim in the pool,

or a walk down the path least traveled?

I personally will be sitting on my porch, watching the birds, and the flowers

sipping a glass or two of lemonade.

Or maybe I will be able to muster the energy for a game of croquet,

or a few hours out on the water.

Whatever the case may be, I hope that you enjoy your weekend!

Take some time to smell the roses! Look for a few fireflies! And enjoy your family and friends! Isn’t that what summer is all about?

Self-care is more than a bubble bath(I love those) Self-care is more than a bubble bath(I love those) it’s also little rituals and small things you do for yourself every single day. For me, it’s a cup of steaming hot chocolate. I use real chocolate, not cocoa, a dash of cinnamon and a dash or two of cayenne, whisk until frothy the add a little foam and steamed almond milk. Then I pick my “favorite” mug or cup of the day and I sit with a book or a magazine and enjoy it. 10 minutes all to myself, we all have 5 or 10 minutes in a day to nurture ourselves.
