Marla - What a lovely photo of Talby and Clara! Their suits match! Clara had such a great time playing!
Pansy Cottage Girl - I love fireflies….I remember visiting my grandmother as a child in Indiana and collecting them in a jar. I’ve lived in CA my whole life and wish we had them here.
Kelly - oh! this sounds wonderful!
Thank you for your Kansas tips! We were already through Lawrence when I read your e-mail 🙁 but we spent some time in Hays and had a nice lunch, a cherry phosphate with ice cream added 🙂 and enjoyed a big antique mall where I got two round cake pans that the bottoms come out of just like my mom has and got at a garage sale years ago! No more cake sticking in the bottoms of the pan. Thank you! Kelly
adrienneK - yay we caught freflies the other day 🙂
Marie - Very cool pictures! I have never seen a firefly in my life. So neat.
Blessings,
Marie
Kimberly Au - Thanks for the simple reminder! I’m a teacher and get to spend all summer with my kids, but sometimes I find myself trying to squeeze a little too much in. Now I’m looking forward to a relaxing Thursday and Friday. Still waiting for the fireflies to show up, though.
Aubrey - That looks so fun. I miss fireflies. My kids don’t even know what they are. Time to take them East, I think.
I saw your porch post at the Inspired Room. How do you get stuff to look so magazine perfect? I really thought she was showing a magazine picture at the top. It looks so awesome. You do a really good job. Grrh. I wish I weren’t pregnant so I could spray paint the wicker bench I found at the thrift store last month. Oh well, I haven’t found an affordable cushion yet anyway. I wish we had a World Market–I hadn’t even heard of it before. Anyway, good job–as ALWAYS. 😉
Mandy - I totally agree! The best kinds of summers are spent slowing down, and just hanging out with those that we love! I really enjoy reading your blog… it’s great!
Meredith - Meg, your photos are just beautiful. I’m sitting here with freezing cold toes and nose on a Sydney winter morning, but feeling a radiating warmth from these photos. It just might be the warmest I feel all day – so thank you! Meredith xo.
amber - Those are the reasons why I love summer. You have the best pictures!
CherryTreeLane - once again–AMAZING pics. Good for you for relaxing. it’s what summer should be.
Penny - It looks like some wonderful summer memories are being made. I am remembering times like these with my girls when they were young. You are a great mom! (Waffle needs a cameo!)
Amber - “relax…slow down…play UNO…catch fireflies…hug your friends…eat ice cream cones….swing…”
:O I have done every one of those things so far this summer!!! :o) I win!!
Brittany - I’m such a fan of your blog! It truly is “eye candy” (I’ve been voting)! You have an amazing gift and I love that you share it with all of us!! Your home is beautiful and I love your color palate! What is the chocolate color you used in the master bedroom?? Thank you for sharing your real life!
rachel - whoa real firefly’s – only seen them in the movies! Where I live all we have is midges and loads of them!!!
Jeanne - I agree. Life is hectic enough…we can all use the excuse of summer to relax!!!
se7en - Oh you guys hang out with such style! Your photographs as usual are totally stunning and bring warmth to our winter…
Shelly DeBoer - I love love love your blog. I am addicted. Life is beautiful and God is good and your blog confirms that. It is my little slice of happiness to check your blog each morning. I have 3 crazy little boys and love to document their life by blogging but I have blog jealousy. How does one go about to design or get a super cool blog like yours? I have used e-blogger which is free but I’m craving something else and would love to do bigger pics. If time allows could you email me @ ms4deboer@yahoo.com and give me some tips. I too would love to know if you sell your t-shirts and pillows. Again, you are so inspiring and your family and home are beautiful. God has blessed you with an amazing gift. Keep using it for His glory! Blessings!
Georgia - I been hanging out with my mum today in the UK sun, its the same temp as bahamas here!!!!! its SOOOO hot! i love the fire fly pics, we dont get them here which is a shame, as they are pretty cool!
sassafrasanne - i have NEVER seen a real firefly.
true story.
Adorable pics
🙂
Gram - We do not have fireflies in Colorado, but I have wonderful childhood memories of catching them in jars when we would visit cousins in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska.
elizabeth - Beautiful photos, as always. I think you should do a blog post with some bad photos, some rejects –so we won’t feel so jealous!
I miss fireflies — we don’t seem to have them here in Los Angeles.
Rachel / cREaTe - awesome awesome pics. not that that’s something NEW to this blog! 🙂 ha [total eye candy] we live in kansas city now after spending 8 years in florida & south texas. and we’re sooooooooo glad to be back in the land of the lightning bugs [that’s what we call them]. 🙂 by the way – i’m headed to deanna rose this afternoon with my kids! i saw that on your summer list!
Mallory P - What great moments, and I love how you caught them all. I think my favorite is the one of your (I’m guessing) legs up. We all deserve that once in a while!
Rach - Oh THANK YOU so much for pics of fire flies in jars. SIGH. Brings back memories.
Christy - I LOVED, LOVED catching lightening bugs as kids! That was one of my favorite childhood activities at my grandparents farm. We don’t have them out west. 🙁
Looks like a great summer.
Lanny Stanard - loving all these picture’s Megan 🙂 but wheres Waffle… I have been voting everyday 🙂
Lanny
Mindy Harris - Cool story: my friend who moved here from Hawaii saw a firefly in my backyard for the first time ever.
It was a cool moment.
Jocelyn Stott - This looks like the way summer should be. It makes me wish I were a kid again. And I LOVE the pink sparkly nail polish…I was totally rocking that back in the day as well.
Jess - Hanging out is my favorite part of summer. I sure do miss fireflies or lightning bugs as we called them back in Tennessee. We haven’t seen any here in South Carolina.
cynthia - we’re doing the same thing! it’s much more fun to take it easy…enjoy the moments…summer flies by too quickly!
Jill - Hi Meg,
Check out my blog today – I posted in our family’s chalkboard summer “to do” list – I inserted a link back to you. Thanks for the terrific idea! My kids had a blast doing it.
misty - I don’t know how I found this blog, but I wanted to tell you that its so inspiring & I LOVE IT! I am starting my own blog and can’t wait to share it with all of my friends and family. Can you tell me how you edited your blog to say ‘older fun stuff’? I am not going to copy those words, but I would like to change mine up a bit. Hope your blog wins best eye candy, I have been voting! Also, do you sell the t-shirts and pillows that you make? my email is misty_tharp@yahoo.com and my blog is thechroniclesofmaymay.blogspot.com I am new at this and don’t even know if this comment is going to post- thanks! misty
Laura Phelps - I have yet to see a firefly here in L.A. But I keep seeing kids with jars popping up on blogs in Kansas. I swear, I may have to move to Kansas. Are there a lot of Starbucks with in walking distance? Cause I will need that.
Hanging out here as well…enjoying mornings with nowhere to rush to, lots of gliter on the patio from projects, night time running for me, and teaching the kids to cook. Good stuff.
