Summer Stuff
Summer (insert Olaf's singing)

This should get you started. At my house our goal this summer is to read a book a week. My husband and I are succeeding at this more than our daughter, but it is a goal. I am happy to share my list as well, maybe I'll get on my own blog post for that, just let me know if want/need a suggestion for yourself. One very interesting book I have read this summer is called The Originals by Adam Grant- fascinating stuff! It pairs nicely with Adam Grant's TEDTalk.
Reading is all I am going to say about summer. I am not an over-planner for summer. I believe in down time, sleeping late, swimming lots, sleep away camp, travel, exploring passions ( I am taking an Adult Tap Workshop) and just plan doing NOTHING. I hope you all are making time for this sort of stuff.
Happy Summer to you!
