Good Monday morning, lovelies! And welcome to a brand new week. I'm starting mine out on a high note and feeling so blessed & content.
I hope the weekend treated you well. As you can probably tell by my upbeat demeanor, mine was absolutely fabulous! My friends and family came out to the beach house to celebrate my upcoming birthday and it even more amazing than expected.
Getting to share the beach with my loved ones is one of the most rewarding parts of having the house. Living in the city, you'd think that I'd get a lot of visitors but in reality that's not really the case. The majority of the time all of our gatherings are in the 'burbs where the majority of my family lives and there's much more space.
Now that we have the house our home has become a pretty attractive option and we have people out each & every weekend. It's so amazing and I can't help but feel so happy & fortunate to have such a wonderful life.
Wishing you a lovely start to the week.
xoxo

Glad to hear you're enjoying your life and that your weekend went super well! xxx
Fabulous blog! I'll be back. x
So these are the moments, you are going to look back on...
p.s. There are moments when as if I've woken from a dream, where I feel completely connected to the 'now' Looking at these photos reminds me of those moments. I can't even express how much I want to wake up in that bed every day, with that sheets... :)
I bet you are the perfect and most wonderful hostess. To stay in your wonderful beach house must be such a treat.
So glad you had a fab weekend Dawn, I can live vicariously through you as it was pouring down in London :)
Have a great week honey xo
These photos are so pretty, Dawn. So glad you had a fabulous weekend. It's true, I would imagine space in the city is limited. Having a larger space really does work well for entertaining. You will miss the beach house this winter I'm sure. xo
Sounds wonderful Dawn, there is nothing better than spending time with friends and family to help you feel re-energised and full of life! xx
What a lovely post. Gratitude says a lot about a person.You deserve all your happiness because you do take stock to be grateful.
Hope you had a lovely birthday sweetheart.
p.s can we see some photos of the beach house? ;-)
That second picture is one of my all time favorites. Sounds like you had an amazing weekend! How fun! xo

Sounds like a perfect weekend INDEED!!!!! Ahh beach house and early birthday celebrations! And yes everyone always gathers at houses outside the city, space and relaxation!
I think your family and friends think it's absolutely great that you can offer them such a wonderful place to visit. I would definitely come and visit you, Dawn! Plus, shared fun is double the fun. xoxo

Happy upcoming birthday doll! :) I'm so glad you had an amazing weekend! xoxo
Happy (upcoming) Birthday Dawn! We live in the city too and we hardly have people visit, I grew up in a very nice suburb but I don't think I could move away from the city - your rented beach house is the perfect solution! Have a great week!
That is one happy post! I think I have a beach house envy, but you know, the positive kind ;-)
Glad you enjoyed your weekend! Sounds like it was perfect.
That is so very sweet...it really is just the best when you get to share your experiences with the people you love the most! Glad it went awesome, you definitely deserve an amazing birthday, girl! xoxo for the birthday and many happy returns!
So glad you had an amazing pre-birthday weekend. Wish I looked like the gal in the first pic when I put a sweater on. :)
I am glad you had a wonderful weekend with friends and family :)
I hope you have a fantastic week. Your great attitude is quite infectious! I can't help but be happy too :)
glad to hear your weekend was great :) hope the week continues to be!!
So happy to hear that you had a fantastic weekend celebrating your birthday!! Hope your weekend high continues to the next. xo
