summer

While the warm weather will stick around for a few more months here in the Sunshine State, summer vacation is quickly coming to an end. It’s both a curse and a blessing. I will miss waking up AFTER the sun has come up, our weekday trips to theme parks and water parks and staying up past midnight without counting the number of hours until the alarm goes off. I dread packing lunches, morning traffic and afternoon pick-up line.

But, I am excited to get back to a routine at home and work. Hubby will appreciate the return of regular visits to the grocery store, as well as not having to dig through the laundry baskets for a pair of matching socks. I will be able to dedicate more time to blogging and you will get to see more of my handmade goodies.

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you some of what I’ve worn (#wiw) over the last few weeks…

June is here! Hoorah! Summer vacation officially starts in 24 hours! I. Can’t. Wait.

Lots of changes have been happening here in La Maison de AquaSeventy6. First and foremost, I’ve been hinting at it for a couple of weeks now, but as of this past Saturday at 4 p.m., I no longer work weekends!!

I took a weekend job 18 months ago while we were just back from VA, still living with relatives, and needed the extra income to get on our feet. “Weekends only” became “weekends plus some weekdays”, and soon I was dedicating almost every single day to my “weekend job”. Sadly, AquaSeventy6 fell by the wayside.

Thankfully, things have been better financially, and since my work schedule was putting a real strain on my family I began to consider resigning from my “weekend job”. Somehow, by the grace of God, everything lined up recently (and unexpectedly) and I was able to rededicate myself fully to my family and my business.

This all has worked out perfectly with the beginning of summer, and so I decided to use June 1 as the day to begin an ongoing project #100happydays. Follow me on Instagram and see how I find at least 1 thing that has made me happy each day. Will you join me? Just hashtag #100happydays and tag me using @aquaseventy6 so I can see what has makes you happy the next 100 days!

Finally, some of my newest branding items have arrived! Check them out!
