This summer....

I hope to go exploring more in the woods with my children.

I hope to watch them marvel at lush, green moss.

Learn the trails backward and forward at our local parks.

I hope to splash in the creeks...

and skip rocks in the river.

I hope to carry a good walking stick.

I hope to climb and get muddy right alongside my kids.

This summer I hope to have more impromptu picnics...

complete with Christmas plates and leftover princess birthday napkins!

I plan to savor every bite of that Nutella : )

and also the oranges.

I hope to fly lots of kites.

This summer I hope to enjoy the simple pleasures that surround us...

and teach my kids to do the same.
