Summer Fun: Fireflies
Monday, June 14th, 2010
Evenings spent catching these guys are a sure sign summer’s arrived. All one needs is a net (if you’re feeling fancy) and a jar. The evening takes on a magic all its own.
The fireflies o’er the meadow
In pulses come and go.
-James Russell Lowell
Now here’s the real question, which camp are you in? Fireflies or Lightning Bugs?

Summer Wish
Monday, June 7th, 2010
A week ago, we celebrated Memorial Day weekend. It’s also commonly regarded in the United States as the beginning of summer. Traditionally, it is spent picnicking, barbecuing, heading to the pool and spending some quality time with friends and family.
My introduction to summer included none of those things. I spent the entire weekend sick in bed with strep throat. Well, actually that’s not entirely true. We did spend a couple hours driving around trying to find an urgent care clinic.
This past weekend however more than made up for missing the start of summer. We visited the Baltimore Streetcar Museum, picnicked with friends, strolled through a state park, dined al fresco overlooking the water, and finished off with a little summer treat.
Isn’t it amazing what a week and a heavy dose of antibiotics can do?
So if you missed the fanfare of summer’s grand entrance like I did (or even if you didn’t), I’d like to offer this wish for you: may your summer be filled with sunshine, lemonade and moments of magic.

If you’re like me, you need a little, okay a LOT, of help organizing. Here are a few links to help get you started.
Meredith Levy of Pint Size Social offers up some stylish finds in the travel gear department.
Now we have the gear, but what do we pack?!
