Summer Time!
For my family June is beach
month. The entire family gathers at a
beach house on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and spends a week of fun, sun,
food, drink, sharing, caring and just hanging out. I am blessed to have a family that gets along
and really, really likes one another.
Rarely is there a harsh word, a disgruntled moment or hurt feelings,
although I can be a bit grumpy in the morning.
We have tons of funny stories that we tell every year. We reminisce
about our childhood and mom wonders where she was when we were doing all those
crazy things because she was a stay at home mom.
We take a lot of pictures, make
stupid videos. Recording these times is a way of preserving
the unique character and the unique characters of our family. I want my children to know their aunts and
uncles and I want the cousins to know the joy of extended family. My co-author and I even came up with the idea
for our movement book series watching the kids play at the beach and we
finished the first book at the beach the following year. The beach seems to bring out the best in all
of us.
Whatever you do this month,
celebrate family, fun and friendships.
Here are some great kids books to enjoy this summer.

Thanks for the inspirational Summer messages and reminder of what is important.
Martha, this is a wonderful reminder of the importance or joy of family!
Winter for me Martha, but I'm about to travel to the US, so hopefully will get a little summer. My reading list is huge! I've got about 20 books to get through over the next few months but hopefully I'll have some airplane time. Hope you enjoy your holiday.
