Congratulations Class of 2013

I have always loved the month of June. The start of summer, which as a kid meant no more school…and as I haven’t been in school for some time now, I still get that rush of excitement every year about this time. Maybe it’s seeing all of the graduation photos pop up on my Facebook and Instagram feeds. Those smiling faces with so much joy after all that they have accomplished in so many school years….and the hope of what’s to come in the road of life before them.

Congratulations to all of the 2013 graduates out there from all of us at Sunny Slide Up!

Now, a word of advice from me, or more so Mr. Mark Twain….

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain

Now, I must point out that I am not yet at the “2o years from now” mark (HA!), but this is very good advice and I absolutely love this quote.  CONGRATS GRADS!

I love what the girls do over at A Beautiful Mess.  I am always excited to see what they are wearing, how the decorate their homes, what they cook, etc.  I start off by saying that they have no idea who I am… but I do want to share something of theirs for you to enjoy today.

A Beautiful Mess has a new app…  it’s true.  It is like instagram, but with built in cool stuff!  Here is where they tell you all about it and here is where they answer some questions.
