Yes, jewels of the sea is how I think of seashells.

I’ve finally gotten a moment to breathe after the craziness of the last month. It finally feels like summer with nicer weather and time relaxing at the swim club. Of course this has me looking around at my many seashells collections and dreaming of the beach. I just said to family - When can we pop down to the beach for a day? We’ve enjoyed beach weeks 12 times over the last 15 years but unfortunately schedules this summer just wouldn’t allow it - a bummer. So, I’ve gathered images to satiate my thirst for more shells! And I need to get the family on-board with a day trip - ASAP! ha!

Til next time friends. I hope your summer is going swimmingly and I’ll see you over on Instagram!

I gathered inspirational images for the summer I want to enjoy! I want to relish this time. It’s such a precious commodity.

Hoping this inspires you!

I’m excited to relax, read, have adventures, visit museums, travel, and work with clients.

We already started off with a graduation last week and our first of two birthday celebrations. Next it’ll be Fourth of July. Visits to the Frick Collection and The Metropolitan Museum of Art are on the calendar with at least one stop at Bemelmans Bar for a tipple! Trips to Baltimore, Philadelphia and Gettysburg are planned and we learned last summer a day trip to Ocean City, NJ is actually doable; so we’ll be heading down hopefully more than once. I recently took in a film with my sister at the Claridge Theater in Montclair, NJ and it was delightful. I plan on making this a regular thing. I love Montclair whether it’s shopping at Montclair Book Center or along Church Street, visiting the Montclair Art Museum, lunching at Raymond’s, dinner at Zeugma, or enjoying drinks at Alto Rooftop Bar with gorgeous views of NYC - it is truly as the townships tagline states: Where the suburb meets the city. We also have a full schedule of Hockey practices both on and off ice and this momma will be doing a lot of chauffeuring. Of course I hope to read/listen to a bunch of books and spend as much time as possible at the Swim Club!
