I had this brilliant idea to start updating my old wallpapers, starting with July. And when I opened this post from July 2022, I read about my plans to slow down. It was the month my oldest would ring the bell marking the end of treatment for Leukemia. I wanted to work a little less, get outside more, and to make up for what we missed. In a former life, I would have worked full-time, so stressed out, feeling like I couldn’t sign off while trying to get through a move and treatment, but I get to scale back a bit now. And I have. Life has been nonstop, but it’s been so good. I waited for July 2022 for years, and here we are, 2 years later. Life feels good. Here are my updated July backgrounds for July 2024.

July feels like a big month for our family. This month marks 2 years in our home, 2 years off treatment, and 1 year with our wonderful au pair. And I love summer. I’m not feeling overly patriotic right now but I’m a sucker for fireworks, and look forward to celebrating with friends tomorrow.

One of the most iconic representations of summer is the beach and water, or it is for me. So for my July backgrounds, I went with simple summer moments – sailing, beaches, and palm trees. Sailing, the sea, and palm trees make me think of the perfect summer day. I’ve included some sailing and beach backgrounds that you can use year-round – some with calendars and some plain to take you beyond the month of July. These images are perfect for those of us who love the sense of calm that the water brings. Shop my summer favorites here.
