I’m really not a fan of hot weather. Being from the south, the summer months can be excruciatingly hot and uncomfortable. But there’s something undeniable about the summer sun that still makes me want to go outside and hit the streets. Summer has always been a magical time to make some memories.

After living through the last year and a half, I think it’s fair to say that we all deserve to have a great summer. It’s time to get back outside. However, a great summer doesn’t just happen on its own. It takes both intention and execution, especially as you get older.

Sometimes adulting can suck out all the care-free fun and spontaneity out of life that we enjoyed as kids. Day to day responsibilities overtake any thoughts of summer fun. The mortgage is due, the grass needs cutting, and these kids are really driving you crazy. It’s real, but there’s still space to enjoy a little sunshine and warm weather.
