Life lately

{Writing in the sand at the beach by Pier Village}

Fridays are (by far) my favorite day of the week. Everything I look forward to all weeklong is only a little bit away. This weekend, though, I’ll be enduring the brutalizing heat that has taken over New York City. I’ll pop outside for a walk around, some shopping, and maybe a picnic in the park. But for the most part I’ll fill my schedule with indoor activities, so I can play in the air conditioning. Until then, here are some pictures from this past week (and weekend) that are keeping me happy.

Life lately

{My maltese, Hudson!}

Thanks to summer Fridays, I’m already at my family’s house in New Jersey for the weekend. Today I’m excited to enjoy the warm sunny rays and lie out by the pool, chatting away, smoothies in hand and SPF by my side. We’re celebrating Father’s Day on Sunday, and my younger brothers and I put our heads together to come up with the greatest gift idea this year. I’ll share more as soon as the surprise is revealed. In the meantime, here are a few pictures from my life that are keeping me happy. Have a wonderful weekend filled with sunshine and love!
