Summer Recap and Back to Blogging Again!

Leave a reply

While I had every intention to start my blog again last week during the first week of September, sometimes life can get in the way and things don’t always go as planned. So here I am writing to you as we roll into the second week of September. While summer went very fast (as it always tends to do), it is good to get back into structured weekly blogging again. Before I begin to delve into any real serious topics, I thought it would be good to quickly share how my summer was.

The start of the summer for me included a family wedding in Connecticut which was a lot of fun as it is always nice to bring family together for a happy occasion. My social life is always a top priority during the summer months while I have more free time to actually have one. I got to see many friends including certain friends I had not seen for years.

Aside from an active social life, I also like to make travel a priority in my life because that is something that I have always intrinsically enjoyed and if I have the availability to travel, then I just make it happen! At the end of July, I got an opportunity to go to Portugal with my mom. In recent years, we have tried to make time for mother daughter vacations and decided upon Portugal as this was a country that neither of us had ever been to and had heard is a very beautiful place. It indeed was and I am so happy we got a chance to experience this!

Shortly after getting back from Portugal, my husband and I went on our first cruise together to Bermuda through Royal Caribbean. I hadn’t been on a cruise since I was a kid so I didn’t know what to expect as I know cruises had probably changed a lot since I last went. It was a short cruise, only 4 nights so we were only in Bermuda for a few hours. While it was a cool experience, my husband and I agreed that the ship was way too crowded and if we were to book another cruise again, we would look into booking one on a smaller ship. The ship itself also seemed a little dated to us so after it ended, it actually felt good to be back home again sleeping in our own bed!

I think that pretty much covers all the highlights of my summer! Thanks for reading!

It Is That Time of the Year…A Blog Vacation for Me This Summer :)

Leave a reply

The month of May always feels like a long month but I have to say that I cannot believe that it is the last week of May as I am typing this and that we are just days away from the start of June. This time of year, I like to take a break from blogging and go on what I call a “blog vacation” which gives me the opportunity to take a break from writing and open up my schedule a bit.

These past few months have been incredibly busy for me in terms of work and I have to admit that I could really use the free time now more than ever. Over the summer months, I hope to get back on track with a more regimented work out schedule, make more time to see friends/family, travel as much as I can, and continue to create fun memories with my husband. I cannot stress enough the importance of cherishing your quality time and to live your life in the present because the years go faster and faster every year.

(I might write here and there over the summer months with a pop up post but I will be taking a break from my daily blogs which are published once a week. I noticed in the past couple of months that I have picked up some new e-mail subscribers which is awesome! I hope you enjoy reading some of my previous content for the time being until I come back in the fall. As always, thanks for tuning in everyone and please thoroughly enjoy your summer! 🙂 )
