Well hello there, happy Tuesday!

Before I dive into sharing the shocking thing that I will NOT be doing this summer, I need to show off why I adore this time of year so much at home:

This first one is when I was walking out of the woods with the pups on Sunday morning, and then this next one is when I was heading out on my run sans pups a few minutes later …

When I say that this time of year at home is magical, I am NOT exaggerating. Getting up with the sun and having this for a view for a third of the year is a GIFT.

Okay, now for the statement that stuns all midwestern women into silence when I voice it in public…
