Keep Summer Simple

After I spent too long looking at summer ideas for kids on pinterest,

I read this post from one of my favorite mom bloggers.

I loved it. It's so simple.

It reminded me of Pres. Uchtdorf's talk,

Of Things That Matter Most,

about the astronauts using pencils up in space.

Engineers spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours

coming up with an AMAZING

type of writing device to use in space.

In the meantime, the astronauts used pencils.

I have also loved reading stephanie's blog, barefoot in the kitchen,

over the last couple of years.

Her blog is calming, soothing, happy, and always a nice reminder to

be a little more simple and a little more present for my kids.
