Can you believe it is Summer already? It seems like the year is flying by. We have made a Summer Bucket List, this is different to our actual bucket list.
I recently saw something that really put things in perspective for me and that was *We only have 18 Summers with our kids*. 18! When you say it like that, it’s nowhere near enough.
I want to make every moment count, I want to make unforgettable memories with our boys.
