the summer I want – 2023

May always feels like a rough-draft to summertime for me. A time where it’s warm enough we can start experimenting with summer themed activities and food. Days just seem to flow differently. So by June 1st, I’m full on Summer-mode.

I start my Summer of Polaroids that I’ve done for the last few years and it brings me a lot of joy.

My go-to recipes also change to accommodate the hotter months.

But this year I find myself desiring something new as well.

+I desire more bonfires and smores nights.

+More hiking and camping and exploring in the wilderness.

+More lake days that leave us sun-kissed and exhausted.

+Time with friends that fill my soul.

+Hobbies that brings me joy.

+Fresh routines that add peace to our lives.

So in addition to the later sunsets and hotter weather, I hope you take time to consider what kind of summer you want this year!?
