Looking Beyond

Looking Beyond its summer and it’s hot. But the heat does seem to make ice cream floats taste even more delicious.

Root beer floats - move aside! These Strawberry Cream Floats are sweet and creamy and irresistible and perfect for a warm day.

There are also mosquitos.

But let’s not forget about the fireflies.

Looking Beyond

Some parents may be hearing endless cries of “I’m bored!”

Yet they can be ended with a bucket of water bombs.

Endless lists of mandatory summer reading may exist.

But the right book can change everything.

Looking Beyond

Life is full of opportunities to focus on the positive.

It’s true that there is beauty in seeing the glass as half full.

But it’s even more wonderful when we stop to consider how beautiful the glass itself is.

May you look beyond this week.

    Yes! Focusing on the positive – thanks for the reminder. (The water bombs look fun! And now I want a float).

    So true. After being home for two weeks (except one Dr. appt.) I got to get out this weekend a couple of times. I felt so much more appreciative of all the little things we take for granted that we see around us all the time!
