Life is Good: Reflections on June and a Linkup

One of my favorite blogs is Found Love, Now What? written by Belinda, an American expat who packed up her life to live with her British love in Wales. In addition to the wanderlust and Starbucks selfies, Belinda is now offering a fun new link-up that focuses on the positive...those small moments that make life grand. This sort of link-up is right up my alley. 




June was a great month. Here are some of the highlights: 
  • I celebrated my birthday
  • And received an iPad, completing the Apple trifecta...thank you, honey!


  • School ended! Summer is here!
  • I registered for my first travel conference. In September, I will attend TBEX North America to connect with hundreds of other travel writers and brands for a long weekend in Cancun. I am over-the-moon excited for this. 


  • We had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with cousins from Spain who arrived to pick up their son and nephew who spent the last school year in the Buffalo area studying English in an American high school exchange program. 
  • While in New York, we went to Niagara Falls and experienced Maid of the Mist. So much fun!





  • We had photo booth fun at a cousin's wedding...


What "Life is Good" moments did you experience last month? Link up here.

  11. I saw Belinda's post at the start of June and really meant to join up this time- in August, I promise! :) I love your update, I've been curious about your adventures and it's fun following along on Instagram. Yay Cancun! :)
    Oh, and my life is good moments definitely centered around my birthday, too. That and the whole Maine trip, plus my best friend is living in the Hudson Valley now so it's wonderful getting to see her more often.
