Dear Friends:

Can you believe today is the first official day of summer? This morning, we celebrated our son’s graduation from preschool (yeah, there is such a thing). It was adorable watching each child in his class mark the rite of passage with songs, dances, and awards. Now that preschool is officially over, our kiddo can’t wait to spend some time off with his friends before becoming a big kindergartener next year. We’re excited for him, too.

But first, summer vacation.

With warmer, longer days here, at last, we’re thinking about ways to spruce up our home and looking forward to entertaining family and friends outside. If you’re on the same wavelength, here’s a roundup of articles designed to help you kick off your summer plans. Enjoy!
