2 Toothpick

Assembly:

I can hardly believe it when I look at my calendar which tells me that my kids have only been out of school for one week. In 7 days, we’ve had countless casual dinner parties, Midsummer celebrations, two birthday bashes, 5 trips to the airport, international house guests, our daughter attended her first formal school dance, (I had fun planning and decorating for it, too!) , a first moped license, and I’m certain I’ve forgotten much more!  In contrast though to the hurry though,  summer means easy.  Summer mades happiness and time for simple, inspired, details.

Wishes for wonderful days and if it’s summer near you: easy, breezy, summer day wishes! I love simple projects that can invite kids to be creative. I also love having kids for the chance to see magic in their everyday world and instilling it in their environment. Sometimes our schedules are too busy; the kids plates are so full with their own interests and activities, but, that’s no reason to give me in creative injection and openings for them to be creative or think outside of the box: it’s as important as sunshine.
