Life is a Mix tape

I love summer time!  I love having the kids home more.  I love having a less crazy schedule.  Sure, we still have lots of activities, including 6 camps and an extended family vacation, but it isn't the school routine.  I love watching the kids swim in the pool, BBQ's, late nights outside and cartoons in the morning.

I especially love how my kids do everything set to music.  Now that they are getting older music is more important to them.  I am one of those people who has music playing constantly - I have a playlist for everything.  I always have, except back in the day they were called mixtapes.  I have a hundred of them in a big box in my closet that I just can't get rid of.  They are the soundtrack to all of my memories and I can gauge where I was in life according to the songs from that time.  It is going to be the same for my kids and I love it.

I made up a printable for my kitchen this summer that I thought I would share.

I hope wonderful memories are made this summer set to your music!

I have received quite a few emails asking about the frame in the corner of my kitchen. I love it. It is a place where I can add a little color, inspiration & fun. I try to change it out every month with a new thought.

This is one of my very favorite quotes & I have actually had it up in my home for years, but I decided to upgrade it to my kitchen. I am trying really hard to live by this quote. It is so simple and so wonderful - I remind myself everyday when I look at it.




I actually had it printed in a 5x7 also so I could glue it to the inside of my list/planner. I honestly believe you can find the joy in everything if you just change the way you think about things. I want my children to see that life, even everyday life, can be fun and we can enjoy anything we choose. I enjoy everything much more when it is set to good music. :)

If you would like a copy of my favorite quote, you can upload it here -

In an 11x14 size (the same size I have on my counter)

In a 5x7 size (the size I put in my planner)

Enjoy!!
