summer notes
Over the weekend, summer arrived. After all that complaining of in between weather, we’ve reached the point of no return. Temps rose and the sun is out. Playground dates need to be planned early in the day to avoid burning metal slides. Water bottles and avène thermal mist are a must in every go bag.
These are the days of avoiding turning on the oven at all costs…grilled cheese, tuna salad, chicken caesar, açai bowls, granola for breakfast, iced lattes in the afternoon. Mini cokes in the fridge stocked for dire times. Sushi takeout.
Lately, I’m finding my child-free window for creativity to be shrinking. Moms are multi-tasking queens, but we all have our limits. Sometimes, when I sit and give myself space for creativity to come to me, it just doesn’t cooperate.
Whenever this happens, I try to allow myself to be still. And let the little details take me over.
