After being out of town the past two weekends, it felt good to be at home without any real plans. We threw around some ideas for a Saturday activity, but ultimately decided to lay low and hang out by the pool, have a family movie night, and enjoy our first weekend of summer at home….

Having had relatively low key summer seasons for the past two years, I’m torn between wanting to do it all and maintaining that mellow, low key, lifestyle that marked the 2020 and 2021 summers. So I guess, for us it’ll be about the balance… the balance between going and doing and doing nothing and moving slowly. I always find the middle to be a nice sweet spot.

I hope everyone had a good weekend and has a great week ahead 🙂
