It’s already the middle of August and I feel like this month is going by too quickly! I’m not ready for summer to be over! The thought of snow still runs shivers down my spine. (Apologies to all you snow bunnies, but this Wisconsin girl still hasn’t fallen in love with the long Mid-Western winters!)

Ian and I have been trying to make the most of the warm weather by eating dinner outside, lounging by the pond reading, or taking our board games outside for  a sunset game night. I love that a simple change of scenery can make an ordinary activity feel fresh and exciting. Next outdoor activity? Movie night! I’m already excited about making our little den outside on the patio to get cozy and watch a movie on our iPad.

Outdoor Game Night Essentials:

• Board games
• Snacks
• Blankets
• Pillows
• Citronella candle (if you live in an area with pesky mosquitos)
