This past week, Jeremy and I spent a few days at the beach with family. My mom rented a house in Ocean Beach, NJ and it was just a short walk to the ocean. The weather was perfect and the ocean was warm! I'm not a huge fan of swimming in the ocean, but it was too hot not to go in.
I woke up early Thursday and Friday to take a walk on the beach and collect some shells and sea glass. I didn't find too many things, but my cousin and I did find a baby hermit crab!
Most of our time there was spent relaxing, oh, and eating! We had happy hour, went to the boardwalk, got ice cream. It was a great little break from everything! Below are a few more pictures from our trip.
I cannot believe we are in the last week of July. Where has the summer gone? But I have to say, this summer has been quite relaxing and doesn't seem to be nearly as busy as last year. I have actually been able to enjoy the pool! But the end of the summer also means time to start working on all those Christmas presents I want to make this year. Anyone have any ideas on what to make my nieces? They are between the ages of 4 and 6. I think I have everything else figured out for the rest of my family members.
Oh, and one last thing. I sold my very first item on Etsy two weeks ago! Woo hoo!!
