I helped my high schooler study for her Spanish exam … I took seven years of German and don’t speak Spanish. That was interesting. I hope it helped her. 😜

I took today off for a personal “retreat.” Working on planning for the rest of the year and thinking through what I want to accomplish with my side projects, grad school and more. I need to do this more often.

📷 #9: Bloom: Tiny roses.

📷 #8: Union. Sky+Ocean. Sun+Sand.

I’m glad my kids love lacrosse, but I’m really excited that both Norah’s and Ryan’s seasons are over and our evenings and weekends return to normal for a few months.

📷 #7: Park. At a park today for the last 10U lacrosse game of the season.

📷 #6: Silhouette. Elton’s down there somewhere… from a few weeks ago.

📷 #5: Earth. Dried and cracked mud.

📷 #4: Thorny. A little bit literal with this one. The rose bush in our front yard. 🌹

📷 #3: Experimental. This week, I’ve been experimenting with charcoal grilling. I’ve always had a gas grill, but wanted a different experience so we purchased a Weber grill and a chimney starter. New recipes and grilling techniques. Having fun, but still learning.
