Feeling loved! 2nd to last day with the kids at the preschool. These kids…. ❤️ You know, if you’ve ever taught that every student leaves a special mark on your heart! I will miss every single one of them.

I’m leaving today with full arms of flowers, homemade cards, sweet notes from the parents, and thoughtful care packages. Will I cry tomorrow? If you know me, you know the answer is yes. I’ll try not to tear up in front of the kids, which is always hard to do. Teachers love their students like they are their own and we’re all changed in the course of the year.

If you or someone you know is looking for a Preschool, I highly recommend ! The teachers and directors are so loving and the community of children and parents is incredible!

This is also a quick reminder, if you haven’t told your students teacher, how much appreciate them this year, there’s still time to write them a quick note and maybe slide in a little gift card for coffee or a movie for them to enjoy the summer. We want to make sure that our teachers keep teaching! ❤️🤗🍎📝📚

Random thought. Is anyone else worried about the next generation of drivers because they didn’t play double dutch? I seriously think about this every time I have to cross 3 lanes of traffic going left during rush-hour. How will they know the timing? Not even kidding. 😂🚗

My time in Peru is coming to a close which means, I have so much to share. I joined this amazing group of women, only one of which I knew, and I feel like a week later, I've know them for a lifetime and that I have a new tribe of women to travel with, encourage, and be inspired by. We made it!! 4 days of hiking, we all conquered the Incan Trail, celebrated our endurance, AND EACH OTHERS! I'm so grateful! More to come. Thank you for the beautiful invitation and the incredible intentional time! I'II see you and my 2 new local friends back home!

“Only one who wanders finds new paths.” — Norwegian proverb. I’m so grateful for this experience with new friends and to be able to weave in time with old friend too.

I traveled solo to Peru this time to meet up with friends unknown. A group of like minded women who would join up in the Sacred Valley from an invitation by our friend Beata. She invited us to spread our wings and jump into an adventure that would bring us into a space unknown so that we could walk out with more knowledge of ourselves and a whole new group of women to know, be known by, and enjoy the journey with.

In a couple days, we’ll start a new journey up Machu Picchu but first I had to come see some of my favorite Peruvians and I made time to walk the streets of one of my favorite cities, Cusco. I’m having an amazing time catching up with friends and walking through the streets of Cusco with an eye to find beautiful items to source and bring to you! More soon! I’m really excited to share this adventure with you and some of the beautiful things I have found.

To join my journey in Peru, check out the comments!

Pues, por que estoy en viaje solo y hablando Español. Yo paso como Española. 😜🙌 Siempre es divertido cuando eso sucede. La final vuelta!!Miami a Lima! ❤️✈️

Fue mas dificil de hablar en Español con la conduciera de Ecuador a las 6 in la manaña sin dormiendo.

Well, because I’m traveling solo and speaking Spanish—I pass as a Spaniard! 😜🙌 It’s always fun when that happens!

It was harder talking to the driver from Ecuador en Spanish at 6 in the morning without sleeping.

See you soon! Friends, if you don’t have the blown glass necklaces with a toggle, you should check them out! These are the newest artisans that Noonday partners with! My necklace has a beautiful swirling texture and you can add a charm to the toggle for more customization. Link below.
