Our summer has been fairly busy so far — and looks like it will continue to be through the end — but my favorite part by far is watching and hearing the girls’ play in the water on the afternoons that we’re home.
Whether it’s running through the sprinkler, filling buckets and wagons or tossing a bucket full of water on whichever sister is swinging at the moment, water is definitely making the heat and humidity bearable, while also making memories that I hope will last them a lifetime.
Here are some of my favorite posts from this week. As always, check out what I’m reading to see the other posts that make me stop and think. You’ll find new posts all week long!
