A Little Bit a Lot

{Enjoying summer = hair dramatically blowing in the wind}

 One might say that I feel a little bit a lot guilty for having abandoned my readers to the howling wilderness of life without Reflections on the Window. One might be correct. One might also be incorrect. Because let's face it-- summertime is HERE!! If your summer is going half as splendidly (or busily) as mine is going, than I doubt you even noticed my absence. 

In the indubitably breezy summer spirit {note: indubitably is my favorite word, and I needed a spot to stick it} of June, I am going to write few words, give fewer pictures, and take my adieu 'til next time. I really do have blog post ideas saved in my phone for a day when I feel more intellectual and less like watching the next episode of Mad Men.

So, in no particular order. 

A few things I love about summer {A Little Bit a Lot}: 

• Friend time!

I am a people person. I love books too. But people are where it's at. I've been able to have some amazing friend dates since school ended, and I just love it! Pardon the gushing. I've read Anne of Green Gables (and the subsequent four books), Little Women (and it's two sequels), and seen a few too many rom coms in the last couple months.

• Work Adventures

I shall use a beautiful piece of coffee art (created by a friend) to represent my entry into the world of more-than-ten-hours-of-work weeks. Not that I've actually need coffee... I'm working twenty hours per week at a summer internship with a company in Petaluma, and it's been fantastic! I was also asked to work part-time at Julie Nation Academy, where I was previously interning, and I love the people and JNA so much that I decided to devote four point five {and sometimes more... read: I worked seven hours today} hours of my Saturdays to working in Santa Rosa for them.

•  Babies Babies Babies

Would my life be complete without small, adorable, cuddly children? Doubtful. Technically, this picture could be combined with my work adventures, because I DO spend two hours a week supervising seven children (with the AMAZING help of my friend Abigail), but babies really deserve a special bullet point. Are we seeing lil pacifier Ava in the front row???

• Food

I should probably not be as excited about food as I am. Perhaps then I could achieve my weight loss goals {I literally only want to lose five pounds, and it is literally not working}. However! I am unashamedly in love with food. Especially because eating food is often combined with friend-dates.

• Summer Weather

Sometimes the weather is so perfect here in California that I feel like exploding. I really do live in one of the most perfect {weather-wise, anyway} places on the planet. We've had some hot days, we've had some cold days, but we've definitely had more than our fair share of just-right-in-the-middle days. 

I must confess something...

This evening sky brought my close to tears last night.

Sometimes God's creation is overwhelming beautiful.

I should definitely include something about bikram yoga here in the spirit of summer fitness goals, but as I mentioned before, I'm not really feelin' it right now. So I shall take my exit.

Cheers!!
