One More Summer Like This Last week I took my kids to the beach, and it got me thinking about summer memories. When I think back to my own childhood summers, I don't remember every trip we took or every detail of every vacation. What I remember are the little things. The smell of boardwalk pizza, [...]
A few years ago, I was scrolling through old family photos looking for a picture of my mom. I found photos of birthday parties, vacations, Christmas mornings, and countless everyday moments.
