Consider this your reminder that things don’t need to be complicated right now; there will be plenty of time for that. Right now it’s summertime, a time for keeping things simple, a time for letting things ride, baby. Let’s hang on to that for a bit longer.
A Few Of My Simple Summer Favs:
The kids screaming in joy while outside having fun.
The dog barking at and chasing squirrels.
Company making a house a home.
The fridge packed with fresh chilled fruit.

A slow float down a lazy river.
Camping in the backyard.
Sand between your toes, calling to you.
Pools to beat the heat.
