This week my daughter graduated from middle school……

and my littlest graduated from elementary school!

And with that, summer has officially begun in our house!!
My plan this summer is to not have a plan. To be UNDERscheduled. For my kids to actually get insanely bored, and figure out ways to amuse themselves that don’t always involve me taking them places. For playdates to turn into sleepovers, and breakfast to be dinner, and Rocky movie marathons to be viewed from a family room that has been transformed into one giant fort.
We’re looking forward to weekends away by lake and ocean, summer baseball and lacrosse, frisbee in the yard and evenings hanging out on our deck with friends and family. Good old fashioned summer fun!!
Next week we head to the Cape to visit friends for the 4th, and I’ll be bringing a batch of sangria for the beach. So easy to whip up and the perfect refreshment on a hot summer’s day!

I'm popping over after seeing your sangria on Kris' site. It looks so festive and refreshing! Thinking of making it for a party we are hosting at our home in Maine.
Cheers!
PS – Beautiful family!
