Hi! It is Tuesday, so that means I am linking up with Diana from My Day in K and Jayme from Teach Talk Inspire for Tell all Tuesday!
This week we are sharing a summer snapshot. It can be a favorite memory past or current. I am choosing to share with you a picture from last summer and tell you about a new tradition for my family!
We all know how crazy busy the school year is. There is no time for trips or to do anything during the night or the weekend. My family happens to be pretty spread out (except my brother who lives in Chicago also.) We were born and raised in central Indiana but now live all over. It is tough at times. My sister is in Augusta Georgia – which is pretty tricky to get to. She is the mom to my first and only niece who is just over a year old. Luckily technology makes it easy for us to connect often. Last summer we went down to meet her for the first time. Our plan is to go back every summer as a tradition. This year we are not going until July, I am excited though!
My niece Mary Margaret and I. She has grown quite a bit since then! |
Now that I shared a little, it is your turn! Read below and join in on the fun!
We are definitely in a summer state of mind. This week our topic is called “Summer Snapshot.” Think about a favorite summer memory, current or new, and post a picture or two about it. It could be a favorite trip, activity or spot that you enjoy. We can’t wait to see and read all about your summer adventures!

Georgia is nice and hot in July! That niece of yours is precious! I'm expecting a new niece or nephew in January. I'll have to travel to Wisconsin in January though, not nearly as nice as Georgia in summer. Enjoy your trip!
Joya 🙂
Sarah Barnett says
Yes! It will be super hot! Traveling to Wisconsin in January will not quite be the same as Georgia. I live in Chicago, so I know a little about that. It will be a good reason to travel there though! Thanks!

Your niece looks so precious! That would be hard having your family all over. Thank goodness for the internet which makes it so much easier to stay in touch. Enjoy your visit to Georgia, what a wonderful family tradition to have!
