The Summer of No

28 Jun 2022 Family, Motherhood, Wellness

This is going to be my summer of saying no. I know this sounds like a downer for a post, and usually you read or hear the opposite, but let me explain…

This is the summer of protecting my energy, keeping the good vibes close, and only saying yes to doing the things that truly bring us joy. I have found in the past that my patterns are typically to say yes to whatever may sound like a fun opportunity at the time, even if it’s months in advance. I’m sure you can guess what usually ends up happening, but when that day comes, I dread having made the plans! Most of the time, I would rather be home with my family, enjoying the beach, having quiet nights, etc… Now don’t get me wrong, I love a good time, but I have found the older I get, the simpler I like my life to be. I crave the freedom of not being on anyone else’s schedule, I don’t like being expected to be anywhere, I want my kids to just be free to play with their friends, and simply just enjoy the everyday moments.

My perfect summer looks like this… swimming in our pool, being at the beach with our friends and family, gardening, keeping up with my veggie garden, making yummy dinners, barbecuing, happy hour at the beach, taking walks, drinking coffee on the porch, reading books, watching movies as a family on the couch, playing tennis with my girlfriends … this is all heaven to me. We’re working pretty hard during the days with Marea, so when I’m not working, this is what I love to be doing.

How about you? Do you crave the simplicity? Or do you like having plans? Mix of both?

xo, Liz

We didn’t have enough going on so we decided to We didn’t have enough going on so we decided to renovate a house 🙌🏻 This is our first time doing a home for rent and we’re calling it the Beach Cottage 🌊 

For this house, we are hoping to rent it annually. We are taking it from dark and drab, to light and bright and happy! We’re working on a tight budget, and our main projects are paint, remove carpets and add hardwood flooring throughout, and a new kitchen. Stay tuned for more details as they happen! Hoping to be done by September 1 🏡
