Seems like a perfect week! We need a new family car and my kids have been begging my husband to get a Jeep. I'm guessing for the same cheap thrills your kids enjoy! They're missing my mom's Jeep (she's Gigi so it was Gi-Jeep ha!).
Sounds like a wonderful week and start to summer 🤩☀️ Especially loved this line “Resting a sun-baked body at the end of a summer day is its own kind of hard earned reward.” 🥰🥰
Oh I loved this Brittany! Yes those Northern summers are the stuff of dreams!
We live in South Florida so pretty much the opposite hah! But it’s pretty magical in its own way too! And we still spend plenty of time outside. We are already on week 4 of summer break and only have 6 weeks left, I don’t want to talk about it, lol.
Our summer is mostly about reading, movies, and pool time. I also love going for early morning walks. We do the library once a week and my 8 year old picked piano lessons for his summer activity so I take him to that once a week as well. Honestly the lack of structure to our days makes me feel so free.
I also love waking up early and getting some fresh air before it gets too hot and humid and the kids get up.
We live near all of our extended family and we have celebrated 5 birthdays over the last two weeks (including mine and my daughter’s) so it has been full of cake and joy!
What a lovely week (besides the flight cancellation!). I feel the same way about Maine — there is no reason to leave in the summer. Also, you’ve inspired me to see if we can go strawberry picking and make shortcake (it looks so good!). We’re headed to the lake next week with my family and that feels like a nice treat after a day spent swimming. I hope your slow summer routine continues!
Love this recap! We also picked our kids up on the last day of school with the Wrangler, roof off, so fun. Lots of pool time, books and picnic lunches going on over here!
Such a fun post! This is my second summer in VT (feels like my first since my house was being renovated the first summer we were here)! I’m living for this season! Gardening, CSA, random lake days, farmers market, walking/biking everywhere, sunsets! It is supremely delightful.
What a fun week! I love seeing how other people spend their days so thanks for giving us a peek into yours! The strawberry picking sounded so fun and the lake day was dreamy too! Sorry about your work trip though. I bet that was super disappointing on so many levels.
Summer for me means swimming in the sea (I live in Greece so it’s not just me it’s everyone here 😆). As a matter of fact we’re off to our first summer getaway these days and it’s perfect! After seeing your post on summer reads I finally picked up the paper palace and I am loving it!
It really varies depending on you and your family's listening tastes.
I like Idagio for classical. They have free and paid plans.
A poster on another site had these recs: "Pandora, Qobuz, and YouTube Music/Premium have been my replacements. I don't listen to many podcasts though, mostly music. Qobuz has actual curation and fewer algorithms. I tried it after Neil Young recommended it."

Oh how fun!! My husband has a Jeep Gladiator so it serves the Jeep aspirations and includes a truck bed for hauling stuff, which has been quite handy!
You live a beautiful life! 🧡 Your motherhood inspires me!

I agree! Such a great sentiment!
So dreamy, especially all that summer produce 😍
my favorite things to do during the summer is swim, garden, and read a book outside in my hammock!
This was so cozy to read! Hoping to get in a lake trip this week, too! Happy summer x

What a magical week (but sorry about the travel snafu).
And congrats Thunder!
