This is incredibly heart-warming to read. It’s going to be a beautiful summer for you and everyone around you. I especially love the starting the day in nature idea, which I’ll try to do too! Our mornings lately have been so much about rushing to get to the first activity. This is a great reminder of what actually matters and how to set the tone for the entire day. Thank you for sharing ♥️
Love this - I, too, have experienced a "joy void" since becoming a mom (and honestly a bit of a "fun void" as the term "fun" has reeeeaaalllly changed in meaning since having kids) and I want to find my way back to joy. I'm working on a 4-part series for summer that makes the needs of mom the focus, folding kids into the mix rather than the other way around. Moms deserve a joy-filled, playful summer too; it's about time we weren't an afterthought! Thank you for inspiring me this morning.
I'm so excited to read your series, Christy – this sounds exactly like what so many of us need right now! I completely understand what you mean about the word "fun" changing in this phase of life, but that doesn't mean that we have to miss out on the good stuff. Thank you for reading!

Thank you for always being so encouraging and for being you 🤍 Our morning outside today was the best!

I also love your vision of a long table, bistro lights, cloth napkins, lots of laughter, candles, glasses clinking, and magically no mosquitos. ☺️
That's absolutely the vision! ...but you know no mosquitos is just a pipe dream in St. Louis 😂 Hoping to bring this evening to fruition this summer!
P.S. Have loved keeping up with your Artist's Way journey over on Instagram – grateful to have you sharing that with us 🤍
