My family (all 6 siblings, their spouses & children, and my mama) vacationed up in the Hudson Valley this past week, and it was glorious! We stayed in  a completely restored 1813 farmhouse from airbnb that I found through And North. The home was decorated impeccably, was awesomely spacious, and welcomed us with open arms. We hardly wanted to leave the house, but we made ourselves get out and explore (a bit). I shared about our experiences on Instagram with #adailyadventure (my newest hashtag, since everyone has to have a travel hashtag, apparently).

The property we stayed on was next to rolling fields of corn, had a stunning view of the Catskills, and was full of wildflowers, which were growing alongside the creek. My sweet sister Mariah agreed to go on a flower picking adventure with me (she picked, I took photos). We put together a simple bouquet that adorned the bookshelf for the week. The simplicity of wildflowers fascinates me. They’re so easily overlooked, often growing on the side of the road and considered weeds. But they’re beautiful, and I love this time of year when they’re most prolific. Enjoy these photos! More photos of our week upstate coming soon!
