Good morning!
We will be hitting the road shortly, on our way to Portland, Maine for some wedding festivities this weekend. We plan to break up the 12 hour or so drive by stopping in Greenwich, CT on both legs of the trip (going to Portland and coming back from Portland) and getting some time in with Tiffany and her sweet fam. Bring on a super fun weekend!
Here’s is your monthly “Things That Make Me Happy” check-in. As always, please let me know in the Comments what is making you happy right now.
- Team Miranda. I agree 100%.
- My fitbit.I’ve joined the cult folks. Tommy got me the fitbit Charge 2 for my birthday and I’m hooked. I think my two most favorite features of fitbit (outside of it tracking your daily steps) are the sleep tracker (who isn’t curious about their patterns of sleep and how much time you spent in light sleep, REM, etc) and how you can set hourly reminders telling you to walk a bit if you haven’t done so within the hour. I, like most people, am particularly bad about spending too much time sitting down, but I’m trying to change that!
- Lavender Picking. Last Saturday my mom, her friend Mellen, Ava, and I went to Seven Oaks Lavender Farm for the morning and it was lovely. Not only was there a variety of different lavender to pick (who knew?!) there was also a bunny-petting area, a sandbox and playhouse + toys for kids to play with, lavender arts and crafts lessons, an herb garden to pick from, a darling gift shop, and lavender-related concessions. Oh yes, and there was a delightful wraparound porch people could picnic on our sit in a rocking chair taking in all the sites. I can promise you, I will be going back here.
Beautiful!
An assortment of baskets to choose from to carry your picked lavender in. (Scissors and ribbon to cut and bunch your lavender is also provided).
Potted lavender for sale.
The Virginia country (not too far way from metro-DC!)
Little Miss loved feeding the bunnies.
The amazing play area.
As one does in the country. 🙂
Have a great day and weekend!
