Back to school shopping for my high schooler took 5 minutes and cost a total of $1.17 today: 3 notebooks in all, from our local Freddy's. Elementary school parents: it DOES get easier in some ways! 🤪🙏

Thankful for the small things! And, of course, for a kiddo who's perfectly happy to reuse the supplies he's got that are still in good shape 💕

Throwback to my last choir concert of the season. What a fun time, and a lovely group!

Some things I learned in my first community choir experience:
👀 Tips on making a group accessible to all! We have such a range of abilities, and the leadership made it look effortless to accomodate everyone's needs with grace and warmth.

🎶 How to be an alto (it's so hard! we never get the melody!) and grow some new musical skills

🥳 Celebrating that I showed up when I could, and learning that doing my best is good enough. And practicing embracing imperfection.

This was an incredible learning experience, and I can't wait to start up again in the fall.

Two more stops on our grand tour of the desert this summer: Four Corners monument and Mesa Verde!

Too bad I didn't get more epic pics of our guided hikes at Mesa Verde. It was amazing, but I was too busy facing my fears to snap a shot. We climbed up a 30-foot ladder on the side of the cliff and squiggled through a narrow tunnel, but the immersive experience was worth it!

We all loved how their visitor center was transparent about being in transition: from the old narrative ("this is an ancient wonder from a people who built it and then disappeared") to a newer, more collaborative message: this is an ancient wonder built by indigenous people who are STILL AROUND, and just a small part of THEIR INCREDIBLE STORY. One of our tour guides was a young member of the Hopi tribe serving as an AmeriCorps member, and shared his perspective on this ancestral site. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Made it to the Grand Canyon in June for my first time ever! Bucket list item achieved! ✅ Thankful to this guy for taking the lead on planning this family trip, driving the 1000+ miles to share some of his top childhood spots with us, and reminding me to use my cooling towel in the 100-degree days 🥰

I walked around Cathedral Park under my favorite PDX bridge today, and discovered the cutest tiny beachfront on the Willamette! 🌟 That was new to me 🌟

I've got one kiddo who is taking every opportunity to learn new things this summer -- hello, tap dance and finance and pottery wheels!

And one who's sticking a little closer to his comfort zone -- sports, sports, and sports -- but also finding ways to stretch himself, like playing with flavors in the kitchen. 🤤

Are you learning anything new lately? I'd love to hear! 👇

It's true, Sedona is a beautiful place to visit! Here's me in the heat 🔥 earlier this month, hiking Faye Canyon with my boys. I'd def go back, but maybe not in the summertime. 😅

Puppy enrichment: treat in a box. 😂 Only lasted about five minutes 'til he somehow flung it out and then started tearing pieces of cardboard off to eat. What a kook!

We had to take it away before he ate more. But it did result in a tired pup, so I guess it's a win!

Here with ya. Just a friendly reminder.

Just gonna leave this here for the week. My kids wrap up school on different days this week, and whenever yours are freed for summer break, congrats to them (and you!) for reaching another milestone.

Bring on shave ice season! 🤙
