embracing summertime nostalgia, accepting a little discomfort in pursuit of the great outdoors, and making time for good, seasonal food shared with good people.
Jo, I love your Sunrise, Sunset, and Swim checklist. Last night, we went to an outdoor concert, and while the sunset wasn't breathtaking, I leaned over to my husband and said "I guess this counts as a sunset." And I just told him we are lap swimming tonight (we have no idea what we're doing--yet our eldest was a college swimmer).
Oh how I love all of this, Jo! Also Michelle Obama with the truth bomb. 🥲 I think about that concept a lot with my children and try to remind myself every season that this is the ONLY season they will each be their respective ages. When we see these seasons in finite values it hits different.
And yesssss summer fruit! I’m fully indulging in the dark cherries, there are my very favorite fruit and I’m making every effort to max out my fill of them.
🥲 Thank you for the mention. I’m so so glad you enjoyed my piece and it resonated with your summer aspirations.
I gave my nephew his very first cherry this week and got to watch him eat it 🥰 he absolutely loved them and proceeded to eat the entire bowl we were supposed to share! I hope you get to enjoy LOTS of dark cherries this summer (this one precious summer with your kids at their current ages!)

Loved every word of this.
Oh and my sunrise checklist is also blank. 🤣
I think that definitely counts as a sunset! (Did you see I included a visit to a wading pool in my getting in the water list?! 😂😂)
Yes! I was wondering about that. It counts!
