Yeah, it's raining outside today but I can feel it....Summer is right around the corner!!! I use to just wait for winter because I love the thought of fires in the fireplace, hot chocolate with marshmallows and, of course, CHRISTMAS!!!...but now I'm starting to find all the good in ALL of the seasons!!! And summer time brings a bunch of positives out...more sleeping in without having to get the kids all ready for school, no homework, days at the beach...and then all the wonderful occasions to create for...like Family Reunions!!!
Life is so short, try to take a little time out this summer and spend it with your family! It can be something as easy as picking a date and a park and inviting everyone to come out potluck style to hang out...no stress, just having fun....OR....if you're in the mood (and have great support) why not throw a huge Family Reunion BASH!
Special themes, save-the-date magnets, custom favors, games, personalized t-shirts, delicious food, family directory, genealogy reports, formal photos, reminisce over photo albums or even slide shows are great ideas to make a REUNION to REMEMBER!
Whether it be big or small, simple or elaborate...just try to slow life down a little bit this summer and enjoy it with family!
“The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.”
-Erma Bombeck
(Custom gum stick favors are perfect for summer time...won't melt like chocolate and will make ya smell good while talking to all those relatives!)
