What makes summer JOYful?

An afternoon reading books with the AC on full blast and a glass of sparkling water.

Meals with good friends - from venturing out for Houston Restaurant Weeks
to testing out a friend's new tomato sauce recipe.

Gearing up for back to school. Supporting and encouraging the teachers in our lives.
Helping mon petit ami get his classroom ready.

Carving out time for our creative indulgences from painting pottery with friends
to experimenting with watercolor crayons.

Diving in to work. Taking on new professional challenges.

Completing my fifth triathlon. Trying out a new weightlifting class.
Learning new dance moves at zumba.

Getting a little cray cray with the peeps.

Throwing on some wildly colorful moccasins because I can.

Gelato - especially the salted caramel flavor.
