“Summertime and the livin’ is easy”-George Gershwin
Ahh.... Summer. The time of year when we linger with friends a
little longer, allow our kids to stay up a little later and enjoy a less hectic
day-to-day existence. For us, as soon as
school is done, mornings become less rushed, meals are more casual and the ever
present “to-do” list gets a little easier to manage.
Although we are only a few weeks into summer
(I know that officially summer doesn’t start until June 20th, but humor me),
we’ve already made some great summer family memories, and almost all of them have
been very simple.

Watching our kids run through the sprinkler and laughing for
hours. Sitting on the grass and watching
a baseball game on a Sunday afternoon while the kids danced and played with
friends. Planting a small vegetable
garden with the kids and telling them stories about my grandparents’ garden
when I was a girl. Having dinner with
friends and laughing over a good bottle of wine.
So, my Inspired Wining friends, please join me in my quest
for summer’s simple pleasures by sharing your ideas and suggestions for fun and
simple family activities. Also, if you
have a favorite bottle of summertime wine or beverage, please share that as
well. After all, the grownups need to
make some fun summer memories of our own.
