Though the calendar says we are technically still in Q2, June certainly marks the official start to summer here in the northern hemisphere. It’s the time of year for yard work (or play!), grilling out, and adventures near and far.
This month our focus is on supporting your summer self-care and memory-making in two specific ways: (1) encouraging you to be more peaceful and playful by using mixed media and (2) offering a concentrated burst of photo organization during our upcoming theme week. The busyness of this time of year means you need both!
