Saturday Shopping: Summer Fun

Written ByLynn

Every Saturday I share a few favorite finds—pieces I love, use, or would genuinely bring into my own home. From cozy decor to practical everyday tools, these are the things catching my eye this week.

This Week’s Favorite Finds

We have been doing a lot of boating ever since Annie and Tommy moved back to the area. It’s a fun activity for Harrison. He loves being on the boat. He likes playing in the sand at a little beach where we anchor our boat.

What I Keep On Hand for Summer Fun

  • Our beach towels are so old and fraying. It was time to upgrade them.
  • Having a beach bag that’s packed and ready to go has made boating an easier adventure
  • We always pack a cooler with drinks and snacks, sometimes lunch when we are making a day of it.
  • Of course we have to be careful of our skin when we are out in the sun. We also do our best to ward off the mosquitos that are a big part of summer in Illinois.

A peek into my life

Lynn’s Recollections & Reflections

I have a little series that started out as a journal of sorts for my kids to have about my life. It became something more.

It’s a place where I share a very personal look into my life and believe it or not have helped some people get out of unhealthy situations.

It’s a work of fiction as it relates to others as it is my recollections of events. I hope you enjoy!
