summer of love — week 2

w2bannerit is time to slow down.

For the first week, we Organized. For the second, we Created.

Now we twinkle.

Do you remember the very first words about Summer of Love?

A place for us to gather — ideas – successes – strategies.
A place where each week there will be simple posts, easy ideas, fabulous ways to connect with your kiddos all summer long.
By the time September arrives, we’ll have created a string of the best kind of moments.
A string of emotional twinkle lights. full of love.

Twinkle lights. They charm us. Not for their brightness, but for their tiny sparkle. A sparkle that is spread out along the line, so that each bulb gets to shine.

We love them for their smallness and their sparseness. And that is the secret to the Summer of Love.

We began with rush, a frenzy of work. Not any more. Now we string simple twinkle lights. One week at a time.

On Mondays {ish} a new message will arrive. It will contain a new focus & a few gentle reminders. Ready for simple? easy? fabulous?

Let’s begin:
Monday:
