This summer was everything I didnโt know I needed. ๐โจ
We traveled across the world, spent time with family and friends, made some incredible memories, said some really hard goodbyes, and somehow added even MORE animals to our already crazy house. ๐
Somewhere in the middle of all of it, I gave myself permission to slow down.
Mermaid Kove got a little quieter because this summer, I chose to be present.
Now school is back, Mermaid Kove is back, September is almost here, and so is my birthday. ๐ฅน๐
Before stepping into another year of life, I wanted to write about this summer. The good, the hard, the adventures, the people we love, and why sometimes the ordinary moments end up meaning the most.
My newest blog, The Summer I Chose Presence, is live now. ๐

And when youโre done, come back and tell me your favorite memory from this summer. ๐
