Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

Coming back from vacation can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. I pushed everything to the side while I was relaxing and soaking up those oh-so-necessary sun rays. Vitamin D is good for the heart and soul, in moderation of course. 😉 We don’t need lobsters here! Last week was spent catching up with a bazillion emails (not really, but it felt like it), organizing my office, prepping packages, grocery shopping, laundry, deep cleaning the house, editing a session, photographing an Anniversary session, trying to convince myself to get back into the gym/healthy diet routine, album designing … Not to mention, trying to squeeze in some last minute fun time at the river with Kyle and harvesting produce from his gardens. I’m trying to be better about not consuming my daily schedule from the moment I wake up to the time I go to bed doing business work. There is so much more to life beyond work and we all need to take advantage of it. And of course still being responsible with the to do list and making sure it is manageable. 🙂 I’m going into this week with everything crossed off my to do list last week and I’m feeling SO good about this last half of this year! Cannot believe we are in the final months of 2015! It may not seem like the year is almost over but I judge the year based on my wedding season calendar. 😉 The months really fly by when I’m chatting with my 2016 fall couples! Whew!

I’m excited to share some photos with you all on the blog this week! Including…
