An Evening Porch Sit

After dinner and the rain settling down, I brought these stools outside and grabbed some items from my beauty box and the summer issue of Bella Grace for a peaceful rest on the porch!

I've mentioned lighting a candle on the porch before and recently submitted an article of this title to Bella Grace for the next Cozy Issue - we'll see what happens with it. 

Also, isn't the green of these stools just lovely! I found myself really loving this accent color in this cottage this week.

Before sitting down, I also peeked around outside to catch a glimpse of the beauty in the surroundings as well! Meanwhile, it was cool so I pulled on a hoodie {always a delight for the one who lives where it is usually too hot for hoodies}, made hot chocolate, Rachel started an embroidery project, they found something to watch on Netflix while David and Scout had a cozy, peaceful time of snoozing/reading!

We had stopped earlier in the day to cut some Queen Anne's Lace on the side of the road for me to slide into this thrifted thermos! A summer bucket list item for me!

Camp Cozy Alternative: The Cozy Cottage

This adorable brand new cottage was available for two nights, so we snatched up the opportunity to get away for a couple of days and not be drenched in a tent! 

If you are new to Air BNB, here is a referral code that will save you $35 off your first trip, and I'll get affiliate credit as well. The link to this cottage listing is here. 

Before we moved all of our stuff in, I zoomed around and took a few photos - enjoy the little photo tour!

We brought all of our meals as I had already prepped all of our camping food over a month ago and frozen everything. Shortly after we got there it poured again and we were so thankful we were not in a tent being miserable!
