Every house in the world has a ceiling and floor. But the ones you’ll like best have a wide-open door. Some houses are rich, full of silver and gold. And some are quite poor, sort of empty and old. Some houses are marble and some are just tin. But they’re all, all alike when a friend asks you in. There are so many houses you’ll meet on your way. And wherever you go, you will hear someone say... “Come over to my house! Come over and play.” -Dr. Seuss 📷: @jibbetphotography . . . . . . #family #momstaysinthepicture #unpluggedchildhood #candidchildhood #letthembelittle (at Ardmore, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9Dt7nn06P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vfv8qlnn2fdy

Our Cornwall Vacation | A Cup of Jo

Are you planning any summer trips? Last week, we headed to Cornwall, England, to visit my aunt and grandmother. We really lucked out on the weather — especially since June had been super rainy (or, as my aunt said, “quite grotty”). Here are a few highlights…

My grandmother, nicknamed ‘Milly,’ is turning 89 this summer, and we want to soak up as much time with her as possible. My aunt Lulu has lived with her for the past year, to help out, and they are the sweetest roommates. “I’m crazy about her,” my aunt says.

Our basic routine was to spend the days hitting up the playground, fishing or crabbing, and eating our weight in ice cream.

Most evenings, we had “drinks o’clock,” where neighbors come by for wine and snacks.

And Alex and my aunt Lulu made gin martinis, their annual tradition.

I was mostly behind the camera but Alex pulled me into some, too. #momstaysinthepicture

For Anton’s sixth birthday, which fell during our trip, we headed to Lantic Bay, a nearby beach.

Anton’s mind was blown when he spotted and pet a JELLYFISH. “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh,” he kept saying. “It’s squishy and cold! Oh my GOSH.”

Afterward, we had strawberry cake and ice cream. Anton can be a little shy, so I loved his sweet expressions when he was the center of attention.

Another evening, my dad and I went out to dinner, just the two of us. It was so nice to get some rare one-one-one time. We went to Fitzroy, a new restaurant across the harbor. The bright food — like carrots with goats curd, and a half lobster with potatoes — exploded with flavor. I also liked how they wrote your name on the table before you arrived for your reservation. Such a welcoming touch, don’t you think?

Our boat ride home!

On our last day, when the English cousins were heading back to school, we snapped this photo. How cute are their uniforms? They’ve all grown so much since last year.

Of course, as always, not pictured were long travel days, jet-lag meltdowns, sibling squabbles and other tricky moments, but all in all, we had such a magical time. I was grateful for another chance to see my grandmother and I already feel homesick for it.

England, we love you! Xoxo

P.S. Past summers in England — including when Toby was a teeny baby.

My amazing sister @taylor_lily - who’s also pregnant!! - is up visiting from NC for the weekend. I’m due on Tuesday (🤞🏻🤞🏻), so we had to get together while we’re both pregnant at the same time! We made a fun trip to Old City and Penns Landing with the boys this morning and it was the perfect weather to celebrate the first official day of Fall. What are you doing today to celebrate the season? . . . . . . #momstaysinthepicture #motherhood #abmlifeissweet #flashesofdelight #momsofboys #mobsociety #family #fiberfolk #motherhoodirl #letthembelittle #theartofslowliving #abmhappylife #thatsdarling #verilymoment #momofboys #mommyandme #risingtidesociety #optoutside #love #pursuepretty #visitphilly #family #blessedisshe #projectblessed #abmlifeisbeautiful #instamom #growingfamily #naprobaby #rainbowbaby (at Penn's Landing) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoCTolCBiIi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12xwk4rh5q1cu

This is 100% our best family photo ever. Last weekend we headed into Philly early in the morning to watch the boats at Penns Landing and we stopped to snap this photo in front of the “pirate ship” Jack loved so much. I can’t believe that soon we will be a family of 5. I keep thinking, what’s another baby to add to the mix? But then I remember how different dynamics are going to be with a third little in the fam. I’m more than ecstatic for this new dynamic and the extra joy that will be added to our family, but also want to cherish this time with just us 4, when we can do man-to-man coverage and the boys still reach up to hold our hands and still kiss us at bedtime each night. Family stuff is just so dang sweet. My heart is so full and it’s only going to keep growing more and more with each new stage and addition(s) to our family. ❤️ . . . . . . #momstaysinthepicture #motherhood #abmlifeissweet #flashesofdelight #momsofboys #mobsociety #family #fiberfolk #motherhoodirl #letthembelittle #theartofslowliving #abmhappylife #thatsdarling #verilymoment #momofboys #mommyandme #risingtidesociety #optoutside #love #pursuepretty #visitphilly #family #blessedisshe #projectblessed #abmlifeisbeautiful #instamom #growingfamily #naprobaby #rainbowbaby (at Penn's Landing)

"The business done in the home is nothing less than the shaping of the bodies and souls of humanity." -G.K. Chesterton I am so grateful that these kiddos make me a mom. To the mothers who have come before me and taught me the beauty of the art of giving yourself to your children through motherhood, I'm incredibly grateful for you and love you so much. Happy Mother's Day to all of the mom's out there! ❤️❤️ . . . . . . . . #mothersday #momlife #darlingweekend #momstaysinthepicture #flashesofdelight #thatsdarling #pursuepretty #letthembelittle #motherhood #verilymoment #mobsociety #momsofboys #blessed #blessedisshe #thankful #worthit #youbelong #mompreneurs #candidchildhood #optoutside # #projectblessed #dmlivingwithkids #reallife #theeverygirl #kinfolklife #family
