If you asked me to name off my top three favorite things about summer, I’d definitely pick the simple joy of sitting on the front porch. Call me an old lady, but I love it. Something about sitting there, drinking a cup of coffee and listening to the kids run around feels like the best way to spend an afternoon. It’s my favorite thing to do lately. Anyway, we are blessed with the most dreamy wrap around porch and you better believe I’ve decked it out with lots of flowers for summer. I took a few photos the other day, so I wanted to share them with you!




I got this porch swing on Facebook marketplace. Such a score!

This table is from Wayfair, I just painted it white and added these old bistro chairs I got years ago.



The girls and I made a goal to journal every day this summer. It’s been such a fun, easy activity and most of the time we spend at least an hour if not more on it each day. We journal about whatever is going on that day, draw, write out goals, and lately we’ve all been picking a Bible verse to reflect on and think about how it applies to us or what it teaches us about God. It’s been so fun. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an easy activity to do with your older kids!
