Planning a Simpler Summer

That's it.  I am not talking about it anymore....I'm doing it!
I waste too much time of this computer telling other people what I am doing. And I am pretty sure 90% of these people could really care less if I am going to the Apple Blossom Festival.  I should be spending more time just doing this "Mom thing". I have 16 months until my beautiful baby that I feel I just gave birth to goes to kindergarden.  WHAT?!  Yep, this kid of mine will be 4 years old in 3 months.
So, starting June 1st, that is just 1 month from now....I am turning off Facebook, switching off the TV, going outside in the sun, reading more books to my daughter, spending more time in my garden and at the park, and camping and putting my feet in the creek...and well everything that I remember doing as a kid...we are doing it!
Included in all this is eating healthier and local, getting outside more, buying local, visiting local.
When I was a kid, the tv went off and it didnt come on until like 1 hr or maybe 2 hrs before bedtime. My feet were filthy from playing outside, my nose was sunburn and half the time my mom couldnt find me....and it was WONDERFUL!
I dont need FB to run Just So Stacy. I dont need Living Social Deals and I dont need Pinterest( although, that does help..lol)
I need, WE need, sunshine and fresh lemonade, Drive In movie nights and bike rides.
30 days and counting....
Doesnt mean I cant blog it to keep record, but it doesnt mean I have to.

What a great gift to give my family this summer. For the 10% that want to know...that is what pen pals are for.
