Turtle-ing Around

/

The past couple of weekends have been spent around the house, organizing, making furniture, and really settling in to our new home. This weekend, we decided to make the most of it and we had such an amazing time exploring the nature right outside our home! We drove 5 minutes away to surf this morning and despite the poor wave forecast, we caught some great waves! I am still a total beginner but I am enjoying learning the process of paddling, waiting, and feeling out the waves. 

After surfing, we headed home to make a quick acai smoothie and then walked to the beach to go snorkeling! We feel so blessed that some of the islands best snorkeling (and sea turtle sightings) is right in our neighborhood! I recently got water housing for my iPhone and so all of these photos are taken from my iPhone 7! How cool is that?! 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I am super excited about all the new content coming to the blog this week and so make sure you keep checking back!

Country girls skip to the City

/

Denise is my neighbor and we became fast friends once Danny and I moved into our little beach apartment. We have similar interests and both love exploring new places and documenting them on camera! She asked me last minute if I wanted to drive to town with her on a Wednesday afternoon and I said YES! 

You see, we live in the country. We are surrounded by beaches and farms and wide open land, with little development. I love where I live. I love the small-town vibe but sometimes my heart needs the hustling and bustling of a city to get my creative juices flowing. We had the absolute BEST afternoon filled with coffee, shopping, and lots of laughs. Our day was a definite reminder for me that sometimes it's best to put the to-do lists aside and listen to your heart. 

PS- I edited all of these photos in Lightroom with the new Our Good Adventure Presets! Let me tell you, they are amazing and they were made by the sweetest photographer, Heather Goodman! If you are a fellow creative, check them out! x
