One of my very favourite summer stories is probably not what you’d expect to hear from me. My grandparents own a farm in Saskatchewan and as a young kid we would go there for a few weeks during the summer holidays. I LOVED it. I would run around naked and play in the fields all day… 23 was a crazy age… KIDDING (I was 5). I would ride the tractor with my grandpa and it was down that old dirt road that my uncle taught me how to drive a stick shift in a 1950 Ford Mercury truck (six years old seemed to my uncle like the perfect age for my first driving lesson). I have the best memories from that wonderful place. It reminds me that all you need is sun, a beautiful open space, and family (and some food + wine don’t hurt either).

Love this simple, laid-back look – and your funny story! My grandpa thought definitely the same when he told me with 8 how to drive a moto 🙂

Love the shorts on you. As for summer stories, I don’t really have any memorable ones from my childhood but the best summer that I can remember is when I travelled to China on my own and stayed there for two weeks and met some other students who had just graduated. The most I’ve ever been out of my comfort zone.

My grandparents had a big backyard. Every summer we’d have barbecues and when it got dark out my cousins and I would try and catch fireflies. Oh the good ol’ days! 😀 Love, love, love your outfit!

Aw thanks Tamar, I love hearing that! I do interval training at the gym… sprints on the treadmill, and some ab, arm + leg exercises. I go for about 30-45 mins a few times a week. I also walk a lot because I have a dog! I will look into doing a training post if that’s something that’s of interest to you guys!
