Two Scents I Can’t Stop Wearing

I should’ve bought them in Europe. I told myself I’d wait, think it through, be practical. But I came back home—and paid more to fix a small regret. First was Eau de Geranium. I tested it for thirty minutes at the counter, torn between this and Tokyo. Then my boyfriend said, “This one smells like summer air conditioning.” That did it. I didn’t even get the “cool” note he mentioned, but it felt fresh, like spa oil on clean skin. Relaxed, light, and just enough. I wore it every day, even used up my first real paycheck on it—worth it. Then came Eau de Lierre. A gift, a choice I debated for weeks. Cooler than Tokyo, lighter, with a touch of immortelle and mint. Somehow, this one stuck. It felt like summer mornings I hadn’t lived yet. Ever bought a scent and realized it marked a whole season of your life? #beauty #fragrance #summermemories

Holding On to Summer Memories With My Kids

Is anyone else feeling a little unprepared for summer to end? I keep looking at the calendar, wondering how these sunny days slipped by so quickly. Just last week, my kids and I were chasing fireflies in the backyard, laughing until bedtime stretched way past what’s reasonable. Now, school supply lists are piling up, and I’m not sure I’m ready to trade our lazy mornings for the rush of school routines. I know fall brings its own magic, but part of me wishes we could hold onto these carefree summer moments just a little longer. How are you feeling about the end of summer?

Summer Adventures That Don’t Cost a Dime: Our Family’s Favorite Free Fun

Every summer, I’m reminded that the best memories often come from the simplest moments. Last July, instead of pricey camps or activities, we made a list of all the free things we could do together. From chasing butterflies at the local park to splashing in the community fountain, our days were filled with laughter and discovery. One afternoon, we packed a homemade picnic and watched the clouds drift by, making up stories about their shapes. These experiences didn’t cost a thing, but they brought us closer and created memories we still talk about. What’s your favorite free summer activity with your family?

Grateful for the Popsicle Shower Trick: Small Acts, Big Memories

To the person who introduced me to the magic of popsicle showers—thank you from the bottom of my heart!

There’s something about the laughter, the sticky fingers, and the cool water that turns an ordinary moment into a cherished memory. It’s a reminder that parenting wins don’t always come from grand gestures, but from embracing the little joys together.

Stay Present: Poolside Vigilance Saves Lives

Every summer, I’m reminded how quickly things can change at the pool. One moment, my kids are laughing and splashing; the next, I realize how easily distractions can creep in. Even with lifeguards on duty, nothing replaces a parent’s watchful eye. I remember a time when I glanced at my phone for just a second, and my youngest slipped off the step. Thankfully, I was close enough to react immediately. That moment stuck with me—water safety is about being present, not just nearby. Let’s cherish these sunny days and keep our little ones safe. Have you ever had a close call at the pool? Share your story or tips below! #FamilySafety #ParentingJourney #SummerMemories #Parenting

Who else is counting down the days until summer break? ☀️ I can already feel the excitement building in our house as we start planning for lazy afternoons at the pool, backyard barbecues, and maybe even a road trip or two. Last year, we created a summer bucket list as a family, and it was such a fun way to make sure everyone got to pick an activity they loved.
