We like the things that summer brings.
It brings the sun.
It brings the heat.
It brings the things we like to eat.
Summer brings so many things!

Summer by Alice Low was one of my favorite books Mom read to us as kids. Now, I get to read it to my boys. The book pretty much sums up why summer is my most loved season. Everything about this time of year makes me so full of joy I’m borderline manic (seriously, sometimes I sing and skip for no reason). The warm sunshine, bike rides, swimming, bare feet, late nights, sleeping in, my boys home with me everyday, traveling…the freedom…I think the freedom from routine is what really makes me so genuinely content. Oh summer, please stay forever!
