I'm fairly certain that my visitor count for today will be pretty low considering it's the unofficial kick-off for summer, but for those of you that are starting your week with me today, I'm so glad you stopped by.

Memorial Day is always one of those holidays that I forget is a holiday. Not because I don't think it's important, but because until I started the magazine I never got the day off. I do hope everyone has had a safe and fun long weekend so far and that you haven't glossed over the reason why you've got that extra day off work.

We had a pretty low-key weekend, and today will be more of the same. I've got a couple of things I need to do for the digital magazine this morning, then we're going to clean out Alexis's room because she officially has way too many toys, and probably end up in the backyard with the pool and splash pad.

The week ahead will be mostly planning for the June magazine and making sure everything is in place for the camps we've signed Alexis up for. I have a feeling I'll be setting up my laptop on the back porch so Alexis can play in the water while I work.

I do have several blog posts planned for this week, so stay tuned. And if you haven't already, sign up for my newsletter by clicking on the subscribe button at the top of the page.

Have a fabulous week!
