Not quite sure how to explain it, but I haven’t felt the sudden shift of a new year like I have in years past (2023 and 2024 posts). It’s not a bad thing, I actually think it’s rather a calm way to enter a new year. I feel ready, the same, content, all while being excited for whats next in 2025.

I’m so thankful for this all in slow Summer and the easy going planning of filling our days with errands, movies, baseball, lots of relaxing at home, swimming and some getaways.

I shared in a recent IG post my love of wearing pieces that make me feel good. This swimsuit gave me life and was the added flare I was searching for.
