{Happy Little Beach Day}

 Hello there:)


Thanks for all of your kind words on my last post! I appreciate that you would understand if I decide to end my time blogging.
For right now......it is something I completely enjoy and i'll just continue to focus on that! No rules about trying to post 3x a week or make so many crafty things a month or attend a blog conference to try and grow my little blog.....i'll just focus on keeping it a positive expereince that I enjoy!! And hope that you enjoy too:):)




Last weekend we were fortunate enough to enjoy picture perfect weather here in Indiana! And I can tell you that means only one thing to me.......time to head to the beach!!!!!


On Friday night we loaded up the dogs and packed a little cooler and headed straight to the beach! Mt. Baldy to be exact!

I don't know much in life.....but I do know without a doubt....my soul rests when I am in nature!
I feel so relaxed whenever I get to spend a little quality time just soaking up the beauty in nature:)


It always makes me come away feeling rested, rejuvinated and more appreciative of my life!


And I think the girls enjoy it too!!!
L.C. especially....she's a girl after my own heart with a deep love of the beach and the water!
Ruby....she's still not too sure about the water....but she tries:)

I think they were both just so happy to be outside on such a lovely evening!

Even dogs appreciate a little sand between their toes:)

It was just the best evening!

And I am pretty sure I enjoyed it even more knowing that it will be the last warm beach night we will have until next summer.

Sometimes you just have to get out there and enjoy the day!

I was surprised that on such a gorgeous evening their weren't more people soaking in the last bit of "summer" before grouchy ol man winter set in.

But I was thankful that we pretty much had the beach to ourselves!

I tinkered with taking photos.

 The girls played on the beach and in the water.

My husband enjoyed a little stone skipping time!

He was pretty good at it too....:):)

I say it all the time....I don't need fancy things whatsoever in life....I just need a little time in nature!

I could probably live in a tent on the beach and be perfectly content.

Well....as long as I had a little vino too, that is:)

 I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be than outside!


And I always come away with a handful of free crafting materials!
I thought these perfect little beach pebbles just need to become something.....so I filled my bag before we left!

I love how the beach pebbles are smoothed by the constant action of the waves. Made me think that sometimes instead of going against something that keeps occuring and is bothering you....just let it be....be like a beach pebble in the sand .....maybe the situation is meant to smooth you out:)

Who knows.....either way....I was just so appreciative to have one more time with my toes in the sand, sunshine on my shoulders and big smile on my face!!!!


Have a super happy and inspired week!
