We’ve had one busy and enjoyable spring-summer season. I unplugged from the blog to enjoy summer break with my boys with the occasional IG posts, but I thought recapping our busiest seasons in our family would be fitting for the blog as we enter fall.
Here’s a run down of our favorite memories of the past spring-summer season:
- Traveling to Disneyworld! Our first visit together as a family of FOUR to the Most Magical Place on Earth, April
- Baptism for our son Baron, April
- Running my first “mindful triathlon” at Wanderlust 108, May
- Celebrating John’s and my 8th wedding anniversary, June
- Camping trip to Deception Pass (Baby Baron’s first), June
- 4th of July on Vashon
- Getting a trampoline for the backyard! August (review to follow)
- Jonah’s birthday trip at Great Wolf Lodge, September
- Baron turning 1! October
- The boys’ joint Fall birthday party at the Pumpkin Patch, complete with a bonfire and s’mores in the corn maze (my favorite!), October
Enter fall. Fall is my favorite time of the year to slow down, reflect, plan, and enjoy cozy moments at home and to be outdoors with nature. It’s also when kids go back to school, I start a new planner, we get back to our routines, the leaves turn and the colors outside are glorious, the days shorter, nights longer, pumpkins are everywhere, farms are in full harvest mode, I celebrate my birthday, along with numerous other fabulous October birthdays, and not to mention, fall décor and the fall fashions!
What are some of your favorite fall traditions?
