I love hanging out at the pool with friends, having friends over to barbeque and starting my days a little more slowly.
My own blog post today had been floating around in my head for a week and your photo reminded me of it. I do think we're about to hit the top the the hill for summer in the next day or two and sometime next week will start that downhill roll.
Hey Lara, I realized from your comment here and another on Facebook that it seemed like I was making a statement about summer "flying by". It DOES seem that way now that I look at my post again!
Really, I'm just posting photos of things we love about summer. Sort of like the old "Happiness is..." sayings from when WE were kids... OH SOOOO long ago!

Haven't heard from me in a while, eh? I'm still around. I have a few
musings about life in my household rattling around in my head. Bear with me

As a stay-at-home mom, I often do the same things over and over: I empty the dishwasher. I sort the laundry. I cook the mac n cheese. Everyday.
And in all of those moments that seem so mundane, I have lots and lots of Moments of Meaning. Often with my kids or my husband, or a friend. That's what makes me not just an ordinary mom, but an everydayMOM (Moments of Meaning) mom.
I add a little of my job skills to my life as a mom by trying to create order in our often chaotic lives. I know that my work DOES matter because I'm doing the job God gave me to do.

Looking forward to reading your blog post! :)
I love popsicle season! I also love slowing down and hanging out around the house without very many commitments.
Nice post! It was pleasure reading your brilliant Article. Nice sharing.
I run a home daycare and love going to the parks and beach to play in the sand with the kids. The creations they make are awesome!
