5 things to do this summer

Summer is on its way. Here, in no particular order, are five fun things to do to celebrate the season.

Plant flowers. Our family decided a few years ago to plant most of our flowers in containers. This is much easier to maintain. Want a fun way to bless others this summer? Plant a container of blooms for a neighbor or for someone who may be unable to plant some themselves.

Play on the swings. When was the last time you sat on a swing, pumped your legs, and pretended to fly through the air as you did as a kid? Bring out the inner child in you—it will create a fun memory for your own kids. Trust me.

Take the family out for ice cream. There’s nothing that says summer like this delicious frozen treat.

Read a good book in a hammock, on the porch, on the beach, or while relaxing in the mountains.

Build a DIY birdbath. Stay tuned in a future post for a super easy idea I’ll share about a DIY birdbath that has been a hit for our resident birds for the past couple of years.
