A little different that my usual posts, but the baby shower that friends and family threw for baby boy G was too special not to share. I mean seriously, this kid will be SO loved!
Our Life Lately
This summer we've transitioned (yet again). We are currently in the states awaiting the arrival of our baby and enjoying some much needed relaxation and, believe it or not, cooler weather! Anyways, here's a look at June and July (so far)!
30 weeks pregnant and feeling the baby kick!
While everyone else is asleep, I snuck a photo of the sunrise over Africa
half-way through our flight, the flight that turned out to be 24 hours long!
Washington D.C. people, we made it!

Refresh My Soul: Annency, France
Usually I do the monthly refresh series later in the month, but with all that's been going on in the world lately I felt it was needed a little early. And I'm taking it back to one of my favorite cities, Annency, France. My prayers are with Nice today, and I pray we remember to love a little harder every day.
Refresh My Soul: Italy
It's the end of June and time for some much needed inspiration. We have made the long trek back from Africa to the U.S. in order to prepare for the arrival of our baby boy. So as we enter into July let's take some time to refresh. The photos below were taken in Verrana and Belagio on Lake Como, Italy. Can we say vacation dream spot? #takemeback
3 Months in Africa
Refresh My Soul: Switzerland
I have a long list of ideas I've wanted to start. My inbox floods with newsletters from talented creatives offering inspirational words of wisdom to funny anecdotes. I've collected my favorites over the years and "promised" to one day do something similar. Well I'm finally making that happen. For a long time I've wanted to take a moment (whether once a week or once a month) and post the things that refresh my soul, because I think we can all agree that our soul needs a little refreshing now and then.
One of my favorite authors who does this extremely well is Ann Voskamp. Her "Only the Good Stuff: Multivitamins For Your Weekend" is a great compilation of funny videos, amazing photographs, and short stories she has gathered across the web. While I don't know what my refreshing material will be each time, I do know that I want to start with a few photos from a place that refreshed my soul like no other—Switzerland. High in the mountains, surrounded by snow and orange leaves, free of cars and itineraries, it was only for two days, but it captured my heart forever.
