I’m soaking up these summer days. This morning, Zack was at work and Sam was napping and I brought my iced coffee, iPad and baby monitor outside and sat in those glorious rays of sunshine. I put my feet up on the table on our wooden deck and read my daily devotional, with each word speaking right to my heart. I looked up at the sky and let the sun beat down on my skin and I thought, hey, Life, you’re not so bad sometimes. This morning I had one of those “life is so big” moments and I just found myself thanking God for all of it’s beauty. I never want to forget to do that. Every day. Rain or shine.

Love it! Looks so comfy too, which is just an added bonus for summer ;)
Can I ask if you use a specific book for devotions?
I read Jesus Calling and I also have the Bible app on my ipad that has a bunch of free devotionals! :)

I love moments like that. So rare sometimes and always needed. Love it.
Cute summer look too!

I love this outfit. There’s nothing better on a nice day than spending some time just relaxing outside. When we were looking for a house, one of my requirements was a deck where I could sit and enjoy my morning coffee.
YES, I absolutely looove our deck! It’s my favorite spot to chill out :)

Super cute and comfy!
Thanks girl!

Amen!!! I am so happy you got to bask in His glow and have some time to yourself. Still in denial that summer is almost gone.

I agree, life is so big and often we’re so busy we miss what’s right under our noses. Your look is simple and effortless yet very stylish.
Aw you are the sweetest!

Thanks Darcy! And yes, summer can stay as long as it wants, in my opinion! ;)

Cute outfit! I’m actually ready for this heat to GO so I can enjoy the great outdoors because it is THAT hot here in Phoenix. ;) But I understand your feelings completely because I remember when we lived in Utah, I’d feel similarly around this time of year. Fall was starting to slowly show itself, and I felt like I needed to soak in every last ounce of summer.
Aww I can imagine! AZ summer is NO joke! ;)

love love love how cute this looks!!!
Aww thanks girly!!

Such a wonderful way to start the day! :) Always nice when you get a moment to yourself in the sun :)
Very cute outfit too – I like the knotted tee over the dress :)
You’re so sweet! Thanks girl! :) I’m trying to soak it all in!
