perks of a farmhome sleepover

our husband/daddy of the house had to travel for work at the beginning of this week, and like many a time before… i decided to take advantage of the farmhome sleepover scenario! of course, i’m basically always looking for a reason to sleepover at the farm. haha. i mean, i don’t have quite as many excuses now that we live a whole 5 minutes away! but… we live 5 minutes away, which is AMAZING. for a zillion reasons. first reason being… it’s my favorite place. 🙂

…whiiiich brings me to my next point: whatever my parents did to have their adult children like, never totally leaving them [no, i will not give them the freedom of empty nesting!!]… i need to study it and replicate it big time. i have a feeling that what they didn’t do was whisper in my ears, “never leave meeeeee,” while i slept as a child, which is what i am constantly tempted to do. i also suspect that buying their firstborn a horse and subsequently providing necessary frolicking space was a pretty. smart. move!! ahhh, yes. a good lesson learned, right there. clearly, i had to learn it the hard way. 😉 we do what we must!

a few favorite things about a good 5-minute-away summer staycation at farmhome: well, the company of my best peeps, duh. pre-bedtime fireflies. morning coffee views. evening wine views! the most un-terrible naptime activity ever! minimal [slash zero] clothing required. also, the watermelon my mom snagged last time we went to the farmer’s market was out of this woooorld delicious! i haven’t stopped talking about it. i never thought a watermelon could win my heart but, oh my! it must have been grown on a fine velvet pillow and sprayed with… i don’t know… champagne!

anyway! i get legitimately panicky if we spend a pretty summer day inside, so… when it’s 1 million nashville degrees outside, you pretty much know where to find/visit us!! 🙂 [thanks, mom! haha!]

[ps! my favorite gladiators // pool swan! // maddalena’s palm swimsuit c/o – on sale!! // and don’t worry, rocco is not sitting with a huge bucket of poison in the baby pool, despite the symbol on it. haha. just an empty bucket that he reeeally needed to play with.]
