Summer recap of 2026 ☀️
Every year, I tell myself I’m going to take summer slow. And every year, I somehow end up feeling the pressure to create, post, engage, work full-time, keep learning and growing, and be a present mom while having a child home for 12 weeks with no school.
By the end of summer, I’m usually exhausted.
This year, I decided to care less about keeping up and more about being present. When I was with Anouk, I tried not to reach for my phone to check Instagram, edit something, or think about what I should post next. I just wanted to be there with her.
Being more present was one of my intentions for 2026, and I’m glad I actually made some progress on it this summer.
These photos are a little recap of those 12 weeks: house projects we tackled, places we traveled, food we made, parties we threw, and time spent with family.
I may have posted less of it while it was happening, but I think that was the point. 🤍
