Summers are a hard time for us here in the southwest. Heat, mosquitoes, low energy and boredom all contributing to a little bit of summer-time cabin-fever. Still, we are trying to enjoy this time as best as we can.
We will be….
*working on a list similar to this one at Let’s Play.
*making some cool treats like this and convincing daddy that we absolutely need THIS so we can make some yummy treats from this great book.
*swimming!
*going up the mountain to find cooler temps (that’s where I took the pics above)
*going to see a couple of movies.
*working on family meditation and yoga (to help up remain tolerant and happy).
*organizing a kid’s bookmark swap (?)~ Super-E’s idea.
Any other good ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Family yoga–that sounds like a good way to enjoy summer!

I’m reading a great meditation/mindfulness book for motherhood; it’s supposed to be great for pregnancy and for new moms too (which I mention since you work with lots of new moms).
I’d love to hear more about how your family practices meditation/yoga together. Last week, we took Annabelle to a kids’ yoga class and I think it was a bit over her head (she ran around the mats the entire time). Maybe when she’s a bit older?
By the way, I love your dandelion shot. Are you into macro photography too?

i especially LOVE that dandelion picture! had I known about it I would have included it in a dandelion blog entry I did a few weeks ago: http://beadup.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-love-you-wednesdays_17.html
Keep up the good work!

My kids would definitely participate in a bookmark swap, we make our own pretty often! =)
