Currently | Life in July 2025
Ah, happy July my friends! Summer is finally here, which means that Carson and I are officially on Summer break for two whole months. After the craziness that was June, I’m definitely looking forward to some slower days through the Summer ahead. Brady’s work schedule is still maxed out at the moment as he continues working through some big projects , so unfortunately, we haven’t been able to plan much in terms of vacations through the month ahead, but C and I have been enjoying easing our way into Summer break this past week with some quieter days. While I have A LOT to catch up on around the house, I’ve been giving myself space to slowly chip away at things this past week in between visits with friends and family, time out in the garden and even a bit of school work as I get ready for September (I’ve been a laminating machine since getting this thing!) – Brady was positive I was the only teacher in the world working on things for the next school year on our first official day of Summer break, but what can I say, I love what do! I’m hoping to keep plugging away at our the some of the smaller projects on our Summer to-do list, maybe do a bit of decluttering and deep cleaning around the house and of course, carve out lots of time to just enjoy the beautiful weather.
Read on for a quick little update of where we are currently…
CURRENTLY
Reading: I’ve been devouring my latest read!
Needing: To get out on my paddle board! Hoping to spend a few mornings and/or evenings out on the lake with C.
Loving: I’ve been having SO much fun planning out my classroom for the next school year! Thinking this beautiful rug will be perfect for our reading nook.
To Do: You can check out our Summer project list here.
Wearing: Favourite linen shorts ever. Perfect for anything – work, home, going out – and SO comfy.
On my wish list: A cold milk frother to make iced lattes at home.
Planning: We’ve been gathering quotes to refinish our tennis court and rebuild our deck – not sure if these projects will be on the list for this Summer, but if not, at least we’ll have a bit of a head start for next Summer.
Working for me right now: Slow summer mornings. There’s nothing better than sipping morning coffee on the back deck with a good book.
Whatโs not: I’m not great at floating through my days without a plan. I’m trying to give myself space to rest after the insane month of June we had around here, but hoping that I’ll be able to come up with some plans and direction through the weeks ahead. Summer will be over before we know it and I just don’t want to waste a minute of it.
Anticipating: While we don’t have much planned for Summer vacations, we have been planning out a trip to France this Fall with my family. Hoping to devote some time to studying up on my French through the Summer ahead.
Iโd LOVE to hear where are you currently! Let me know what’s new and exciting in the comments below.
Wishing you SUCH a lovely day my friends!
