Summer in New England always goes by much to fast. This year, I intend to slow down and appreciate the small things. You don’t have to live in New England to follow along my personal list. Joy can be found anywhere and I hope you will be inspired by my summer check list and make a list all your own. Please leave a comment below with your summer check list suggestions.
