We recently went down to Florida to visit old friends, instead of getting wrapped up in the whole amusement park experience, we slowed down, enjoyed nature, our children, and simple pleasures.

Great article!
I have my daughter registered for a 1/2 day camp this coming week.
I am not sure she is ready for it. (She is 3).
But all our friends are away and we have no plans.
I feel like she should have “something to do”.
Maybe that “something to do” should be with me. I just need to get a little more creative.

I needed this-Thank You! I have been bringing my oldest up for daily swim lessons at the local pool. They were cheap and her friends were doing them. She does like them, but the “teachers” (high school kids) are not helping her learn anything new and it is a major time commitment to get there. I had felt guilty for not wanting to continue them, but no more. They just do not enrich our short summer enough. Thank you!

Thanks for this, Megan. A year later and this post is still the reminder that I need as the summer shifts into high gear and I start feeling the pressure of the days getting crossed off of the calendar.

Here’s to lazy days, slowing down, and savoring Summer!

@turnitupmom, I fully agree about the ice cream indulgence! And pizza at the park = heaven. It's hard to believe how quickly these days are going by. It'll be Back To School time before we know it! Megan’s last blog post..Simple As That: Come on, get a little muddy!
