Enjoy the Summer Slow 
Down...


With kids out for summer break, it's time to think about what to do to enjoy summer!  When the temp gets hot, we go to the beach...What do you do?

I completely get, that for the majority of us, there is no summer slow down...We still have to go to work, have deadlines to meet, & kids to take care of...After the last bell rings to let kids out for the summer, they stay home or go to grandma's, attend camps or join clubs, & plenty of other options throughout the summer season!  Plan ahead this year to make the time to slow down & enjoy the hot dogged days of summer with friends & family!

decorating for a 
Summer slow down...


Having a place to chill & hangout, cozy up & read a good book, or simply relax or meditate is important to the mind & body.  Pick an adequate space that fulfills the needed requirements like a place to relax, surface space for your necessary items (drink or book), or maybe even storage.  Before filling the space with all your stuff, think about the mood & style you want within the space. 

Next, have a budget for your dedicated relaxing space.  If a total makeover is in order with fresh new items, then you may be looking @ larger price tag.  In that case, research your style & start pricing out your list of needed items to figure out your budget.  If you have a more limited budget, refurbishing items you already own or creating new, handmade items are both great options which create a more personalized design!

Once you have your design, style & needed items, it's time to get to work.  Place your larger items in the area to make sure the space functions well. Then, style the room with lighting, decor, & plant life.  Plants help soften a room & filter the air, both of which create a more relaxing space. Finally, enjoy your new relaxing summer slow down! *Designs are meant to be a living concept, so edit & add to your spaces as your lifestyle changes!



 Organizing Summers' slow Down...


In order to slow down, you 1st must have a plan & be prepared. Don't stop using the wonderwall because school is out.  Utilize that awesome tool for summer chores, reading lists, to-do's, etc.  The calendar is still important to keep up with appointments, camps, workshops, & trips.

creating Art for the SLOW DOWN...


Napping is always a great summertime activity, so why not create a Dreamcatcher...

Step away from a traditional dreamcatcher & into a new design!  Try different materials or shapes.  New trends are using crochet doilies for the center "web" & ribbons instead of feathers, as well as, utilizing unusual shapes or designs...often layering multiple dreamcatchers.
