hello heart split in two

Hello friends! We are back from the Dominican Republic, jet lagged and soaking up snuggles with our kiddos. I left a big part of my heart over there, but I am simultaneously so happy to be home. It’s crazy how our hearts can live in multiple places, don’t you think?

It’s a brand new week with beauty to be found. How about some hellos?

***Hello Monday is where I greet the new week with an open heart and a fresh perspective. It’s a new beginning–and there’s so much to be thankful for! Join me by leaving your own hellos in the comments section or linking up a hello monday post there!***
