We just returned from a week away at the lake in Arkansas (full post to come). Here are a few pictures from the past week:

the walkway to the beach

 

We are spending a week at the beautiful Watersound Beach in Florida with my family. My brother's almost 3-year-old daughter, Alivia, is loving her first beach trip since she was 10 months old.

this sums up her sweet personality perfectly

the greek life

G & I just returned to Tennessee after a two week vacation in Greece & Italy...I know, I know, it sounds amazing right? Well it was & I thought it would be appropriate to share a few pictures of our time in Greece. 

I have always loved the color combination of blue & white. My nursery was light blue & white when I was a baby & my bedroom in high school was ice blue with white bedding. The color combination makes me feel completely relaxed & at home. Needless to say, the white houses dotting the hillsides of Greece captivated me during our trip. The majority boasted doors, window frames, shutters & railings in various shades of blues, mirroring the gorgeous Aegean Sea surrounding them. The longer we spent roaming the streets of the quaint islands we visited, the more inspiration I got for our future home.
