Friday Favorites

- Peony season.
Everyone I know is obsessed with peonies - and I don't blame them. I bought these when they were mostly buds and I've been watching them constantly, admiring them more, with each bud opening. And boy, do they smell great.

- Staying organized.
Confession: I am horrible at planning things - I really am, and I'm making it a goal to become better. I am good about organizing my home and things but when it comes to intangible things - that's where it ends. And it sucks - as a blogger this should be number one on the list. So I'm working on it...

- The ocean.
Is there any chance that the ocean doesn't make everyone happy? We haven't gone to the beach/ocean in months and I was not happy about it. Finally with the long weekend, we made it happen - and it was as incredible as ever. Side note: one day this will be me (parasailing).

- The jacaranda trees blooming all over the city.
You know I have a weakness for flowers and nature in general, and seeing these beauties everywhere makes my heart happy. I wish they lasted forever, but, since they don't, I have the photos to remind me of them, until next time.

​Hello June, Hello Summer and Happy Friday to you!
I've been neglecting my blog big time - my apologies. It will sound like an excuse but life has been busy. We managed to cross some things off our list so, hopefully, things slow down around here and we can breathe again.
Since we're starting a new month, I will be focusing on organization and planning, because I know I need more of that. And let's not forget the fun. We need more of that too.
Do you have anything you want to focus this month? Let me know in the comments below.

Thanks for reading - Have an amazing weekend!

Until next time.

XOXO,

Em
