It’s May and summer is quickly approaching.  We thought it would be fun to take a minute, and a breath, and dream about having a simple summer.

Our friend Rebecca Rapp-Salas joins us and shares how her family keeps it simple.  It’s funny but keeping is simple takes planning, intentionality, and grit.  Keeping it simple isn’t that simple after all! ☺  

What is a simple summer? It’s recognizing the daily gifts of time, rest, and meals together that the school year typically doesn’t afford us.  It’s fireflies at night, walks in the neighborhood, an overnight camping trip, visiting grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, VBS, and summer camp.  It’s lists of fun activities like smores over a fire, scavenger hunts through the park, adventures in the kitchen, service projects and late-night talks.  

So many of us look up in August and wonder, “where did summer go?”  Is this because we looked forward to that grandiose trip the whole summer and forfeit the daily blessings of a simple, regular day? We want you to think ahead and plan for a simple summer.  Thank you, Rebecca, for spurring us on to do just that.
