It’s been a crazy week but I couldn’t help but sit down today and scour through dozens of property listings, dreaming of a beautiful vacation home on the water somewhere. I know, it’s crazy - we’re years and years away from being able to do something like this. But I always think it’s important to continue dreaming (and I love to dream big). I keep picturing a large cabin on a lake, the kids out water skiing and tenting in the summer, fresh towels wrapped around them each when they’re chilly from swimming. I can picture my boys throwing rocks into the water off the dock and roasting marshmellows in a firepit. I also love dreaming about the fun they would have to bring their friends for a visit and have such fun parents!

I can also imagine huge family gatherings with all the little ones having tons of space to run and play and explore. A tree house, a rope swing, a garden of yummy berries and fruit trees, and don’t forget a hammock for restfully relaxing and reading a book. I shudder to think of the last time I took a break out to read. That would be lovely.

What’s your Big Dream? What’s your idea of your perfect summer home? I’d love to hear!
