•summer solstice• Happy summer solstice! What are you doing to celebrate our longest day this year? I’m on my last day of my mini mama vacay and I actually hustled out of bed and made my way downtown for a sunrise yoga before I board a plane and go back to my family. The sun is bright & beautiful! Go enjoy! 🌞 ✨ #summersolstice #yoga #mamavacay #solsticeyoga #summer #happysummer @checkayoga @yogawayretreats

•haircut• No mini Mama vacay is complete without a new do, right? Summer chop. Feels so fresh & so clean. 💇🏻‍♀️ ✨ #sofreshandsoclean #newdo #chopchop #summercut #haircut #mamavacay

•flying solo• Flying home *by myself* for a few days to check in on the renovation. It’s hard to wrap my mind around this, but this is my first solo flight in nearly a decade. What?! I’m so accustomed to the hustle of flying with small humans, or at the very least with my partner, that this trip alone feels eerie & calm. I mean, it’s a welcomed change, don’t get me wrong. A mini vacay in many ways, but still strange non the less. ✨ #kidfreeflying #flyingsolo #mamavacay #goinghome #travelwithoutkids #renovation #renovationvacation #timealone

•Paris of the south• My husband and I had a wonderful 36 hour getaway in the beautiful city of the blue ridge mountains, Asheville, NC. It’s the first time we’ve been kid free in FOUR years. Cafes, chocolate shops, book stores, vintage & antiques treasures, incredible eats and *sleeping late*. It was perfection. Thank you to @_saralance & @mckees_musings for the great suggestions from a local’s perspective. ✨ #parisofthesouth #asheville #blueridgemountains #bookstores #cafe #getaway #kidfree #kidfreeweekend #parentsneedabreak #goodeats #friedgreentomatoes #domorethanmarch #doors

•string art• My oldest & I tried our hand at a new art form today. (Thanks, Michaels). It was meditative and fun to create. ✨ #stringart #stringarts #makesomething #kidsart #makeartwithkids #homeschool #unschooling #selfdirectedlearning #homeschoolart #fox #star

•balance• Every sidewalk edge or wooden beam lining a yard she jumps on and wobbles her way across, one foot in front of the other. She loves to test her balancing skills. ✨ #balance #balancebeam #toddlerlife #playgroundfun #playground #getoutside

•liquid magnets• This little station at the science museum kept us entertained for a long, long time. ✨ #science #liquidmagnet #magnet #magnetic #sciencemuseum #homeschool #selfdirectedlearning #unschooling #homeschoollife

•playground• We’ve been on the road & away from home for two weeks now. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the fact that we won’t be going home for another 2 1/2 MONTHS. And the home we’re going home to won’t look or feel at all the same. It’s a whole different level of homesick. But back at home, we live across the street from a playground where we play nearly every day. Thankfully, my in laws also have a playground a stones throw from their house that we find ourselves visiting everyday. Trying to find some normalcy and a familiar rhythm on this renovation vacation. ✨ #renovationvacation #lifeontheroad #ontheroad #homesick #noplacelikehome #renovation #playground #familyrhythms #getoutside #urbanplayground #travelwithkids #summertravels

•sister cousins• Sweet baby girls enjoying some cousin time. 💕 Mama cousins and even their GGs. ✨ #sistercousins #sistercousinlove #threegenerations #cousinlove #babygirls

•RBG• Have you seen the documentary of the notorious RBG? I’ve seen it twice now. I’m obsessed with and in awe of her greatness. When once asked when she thought there would be enough women on the bench she replied: When there are nine. 🙌✊ ✨ #whentherearenine #rbg #rbgmovie #notoriousrbg #feministaf

•aquarium• 🐠🐟🦈 More fun on this renovation vacation as we explored the creatures of the sea. This aquarium, though strangely located inside a shopping mall, is actually one of my favorites because it’s designed with children in mind as all of the tanks at eye level for the little ones with lots of tunnels and inviting peek holes to explore. ✨ #aquarium @sealifeusa #homeschool #selfdirectedlearning #homeschoollife #unschooling #jellyfish #renovationvacation

•T Rex• The T Rex was no joke. My oldest thought it was all good fun romping around these bones. His brother wasn’t so sure...it made him a little nervous, even if it was just bones. They both enjoyed digging up a few bones though. 🦖 ✨ #trextakeover #trex #dinosaurs #dinosaurbones #museums #sciencemuseum #homeschool #selfdirectedlearning #homeschoollife #homeschoolandmuseums #unschooling @discoveryplace
