Summer should be full of moments to just kick back and relax! I know, I know, not many of us often have that luxury– but once in a great while we should all try it…I believe it does wonders for sanity and patience levels! Last year we bought a hammock at a garage sale and it was one of the best family purchases we ever made! Each one of us finds time to hang out there once in a while… even if just for a few moments…a resting spot after a long day of activities, a place to contemplate, to get lost in a book, or my favorite, to snuggle with a child and watch the birds settling in for the night. Summer break can be just as crazy with activities as the school year, so I believe that an outside resting place is important for it to really feel like summer! Remember when you were a kid and the summer seemed to last forever? You could lie in the grass and stare at the clouds for unending hours? That’s the feeling of summer! Whether it be a hammock in your yard, a porch swing, a rocking chair, or even a picnic blanket piled with pillows…make some room for outdoor relaxing! Besides, creating that space could be a perfect excuse to check out some yard sales…another summer pastime! My summer favorite–the hammock!
time to get comfy!
this little side table was made possible by another garage sale find…
it used to be an ottoman for a wicker rocker–removing the top made it a perfect table base for a store-bought glass round
everything looks better in a footed glass!
