SUMMER IS HERE!!
Congratulations! Today is the first day of summer! Ready or not it's here. Many of my friends are getting ready to go on trips. Excitement is in the air about summer get togethers, new activities, barbecuing and entertaining.
We were invited to our friends house for a casual dinner. It was just the 4 of us but it ended up being very special. We arrived just on time to enjoy fantastic Belinnis on the deck and watch the sunset.
Then we slowly relocated inside, and dinner was served on antique china and silverware accompanied with a flower arrangement set in a gorgeous Murano vase. Apres' dinner drinks were served in the living room.
There were two things that made this evening a beautiful event. First is that we enjoyed several areas of the house, and second the beautiful tableware. Why not use it if you have it? What are we waiting for? Sometimes Monday night can be that special occasion!
NOW IS A PERFECT TIME FOR THE KIDS TO TAKE UP A HOBBY. Something you do for fun ( t.v. and video games are not an option).
I would love for my kids to start a hobby this summer. Any ideas? We will go biking, hiking, and fishing. I think botany is cool. Collect interesting plants and pressing them.
Photography is another good one. Now that everything is digital you don't have to print every single picture.
WHAT ARE THE APPS YOU LOVE?
Last year when we were on a road trip I discovered Doodle. We downloaded it on I-Pad and I- Pod. Kids were busy finger drawing for hours!
MIRACLE CREAM
There is nothing that works faster and better on scratches, rashes and sores than A&D ointment. Get it in the diaper section of the pharmacy. I buy one and divide it in several smaller jars and put it in every bathroom, and sometimes give it to my friends.
HOUSEKEEPING
Our organizing guru Andrew Merskin recommends taking an hour a day and going through guest rooms in the house, so if you have guests this summer you are ready for them at any time!
