It has been a while since I published a Gratefully Grateful post. I’ve sat down several times to do it but for some reason just couldn’t. And it’s not because I haven’t had anything to be grateful for lately. It’s actually quite the opposite.
I’ve spent time with wonderful people (Mom!), visited beautiful places, eaten delicious meals, read interesting books, taken lots of memorable photos and planned exciting future trips.
But I’m happy to be back here today and share some of my favourite images of the last few weeks. I really do love looking back on these posts and remembering the little moments and details behind them.
So…
Here’s to the end of the school year which is (slowly) coming to an end.
Here’s to sultry hot summer days and melted gelato dripping down my kid’s arms.
Here’s to the copious amounts of fresh local seasonal fruit that has taken over my entire fridge.
Here’s to upcoming rock concerts that we’ve been waiting for ages to attend.
Here’s to soon being able to spend lots of homework-free days and nights with my three favourite little (big) people.
The perfect combination of bright yellow farm equipment and vibrant red poppies. With the addition of the world famous Barolo vineyards in the background. 
A dapper young lad on his way to lunch at the famous Slow Food restaurant Boccondivino in the small city of Bra (Piemonte). He loved it by the way.
Another gorgeous rose arrangement in the beautiful Villa Porta Bozzolo. 
I give her less than a year before she’s taller than me.
Now this is my kind of chapel.
Have a great week folks.
Gratefully Grateful
