It's October. And my fellow Nanowrimos know that it is on. 
Prepping and planning and prepping and honestly it is possible I love Prep-tober maybe even more than November.
And if you're lost, let me explain what all of this is, and then what prep-tober is.

Wisconsin has become home for Fourth of July for a few summers now. Every year spent a little different but every year just as fun as the year before. Here are a few shots from the Olbrich gardens in Madison. Now it feels like summer is truly kicked off. Here’s to the cheese state and botanical gardens.

Though we visited Miami, our hotel was actually in Hollywood. With the chaos of ending up renting a jeep wrangler, moving hotel buildings unexpectedly, trying to adjust to the major heat that south Florida offers. So here are a few shots of this cute little beach town and its "broadwalk" and the beautiful views we had all week. ALSO! Thanks to my mom's sweet cousin Lou for being the kindest and sweetest host, and showing us around his home and his lifeguard stand. (the American flag he puts out everyday on the beach).
