I'm sure you have heard that phrase "you only get 18 summers with your kids" by now. It totally made me panic at first,
thinking I had to make Summer amazing for my kids and then I remembered that there is a difference between what I think
is a special holiday/adventure/outing and what the girls determine is special.
We are pretty fortunate that we have family that live in the country, which to the girls is as good as a trip to the mountains
or to a world class museum. In fact, the more I embraced the simplicity of our summer plans (which were next to none) the
more I loved just doing the small things with my babes.
Small things like getting a pass to our city's humble but fun little zoo, going to visit my family's farm, a family ice cream date,
a trip to the river...all of these little seemingly small events made my kiddos so happy!
If you told me 10 years ago, even 5 years ago that I'd gravitate towards the word Simplicity, I would have never believed you.
But now, this summer, this week, right this second I am not only drawn to simplicity but I am pursuing it. I know it won't always be
like this. In fact, I know things will get crazy again in the next few months, and when that time comes I know I'll enjoy that routine too.
So, just in case it's the end of this year's warmer temperatures ( we did need to turn the heat up the other day!) and we are headed
straight for Fall, I gotta say; Summer 2018, you were so good to us. Your sweet simplicity was just what this mama needed to stop
and enjoy her little ones!
