Your Weekend to Celebrate

in Fun Stuff· Your Weekend

**Giveaway now closed.**

School is over and out, y’all! Let the schedule abandonin’, alarm clock throwin’, summertime livin’ begin!

We Strongs aren’t too shy about our love for summer. The moment we see her approach from the distance, we throw open our windows, wave her in, and embrace her bear hug style. We invite her to stay as long as possible, soaking up quality time in the form of swimming, hiking, and late evening playing. And while she’s hanging out, we Strongs eat lots of ice cream and popsicles. Our family enjoys extra time together, at least until we start to get on each other’s nerves. But even if we do get on each other’s nerves, we’ll just use it as an excuse to buy more ice cream. Because ice cream fixes just about anything.

This Sunday is also my birthday. And because y’all are such a gift to me, I feel like celebrating early. In honor of turning 38, I’m giving one reader $38 to spend on whatever she wants from DaySpring. {My current favorites are from their Redeemed Outdoor Decor collection. Super cute stuff!} To enter, just leave a comment below. For an additional entry {or two}, feel free to like my facebook page and/or subscribe here {it’s free}. Then, just leave a comment telling me you did so. The giveaway will be open until Sunday, June 3rd.

For the majority of this next week, I’ll be a little quieter here as the fam and I enjoy this first week of summer. And whether or not your kids are out of school or you are off from work, I pray your weekend brings you warm breezes, blue skies, and ice cream. And fewer dates with your alarm clock.

I love you, darlings.

    Ice cream for all! Happiest of birthdays to you, Kristen! I turn 38 this year, too. Bring it on, I say. And I’m your newest “like” on Facebook. I don’t know why I hadn’t done that before. Have a fantastic family weekend!

    Happy Birthday! I am embracing your wonderful attitude toward the carefree days of summer. So far, I have been approaching the lack of schedule and household mess less than enthusiastically, but your post is turning that around…
