Summertime is here at my house. All my kids are out of school and they are ready to hurry up and relax. Ever feel like that? You need to hurry up and make a memory or do something significant? As scrapbookers we pay attention to those big expected moments like graduations, birthdays, recitals, and holidays; how good are we at paying attention to the little things? I would say pretty good. As a reminder to all of us, take photos of those little things, take time to make homemade lemonade, sit outside with the kids and play games or read. Make time for the little things in life.

A memorable tradition at our house is making summer food. Each child picks something they want to make and then we get the ingredients and have at it. A few of the favorites over the years are blueberry smoothies, ice cream in a bag, lemonade, breakfast muffins, and blond brownies. Funny thing about this tradition... I have never scrapbooked or even photographed it. That will change this year! Make a commitment with me to photograph your family's little things this summer.
