A Few of My Favorite Things (June 2023)

School is out tomorrow and we’ve essentially been living outside for the last 2 to 3 weeks. That can only mean one thing… summer is here for the Dekker family! Summer is our family’s favorite time of year, and I’ve got lots of summer favorites to share with you below! photo source FAVORITE ROUTINE = Opening the Pool We officially opened the pool almost 3 weeks ago and it’s already in the mid-80s which means Mama is swimming too!

So, what *did* I get up to May, aside from trying to say intelligent things on conference calls while tween girls scream at “A Hat in Time” next to me?
