I’m so happy to be in the midst of May! It’s my favorite month, with something fun to look forward to every week – Mother’s Day, our annual trip down the shore, my birthday, Memorial Day Weekend… I just love it!
Add to those things, the pleasant change in the weather, the ability to open the windows in the house and let a breeze rustle the kitchen curtains, lazy weekends sipping coffee and reading memoirs… Did I say already that I love it? Well, I totally do.
I hope you are enjoying this month too 🙂
