    Looking forward to a vegas trip this summer! I actually did a head spa there (off the strip, takes about 15 minutes to get there) and it was amazing! I rarely ever leave the strip when we visit, but this one was 100% worth it! https://teaspalv.com/

      I am looking forward to completing my summer home update/improvement projects. Two are done, one is in progress, and then there are two, maybe three more as of now. It’s too humid hot for outdoors now so summer is the perfect indoor project time.

  38. Pamela on June 10, 2026 at 3:01 pm

    I had Achilles rupture repair surgery last month () and am looking forward to hopefully learning to walk again by the end of the summer! Joking only a little, tearing your Achilles is a life-altering injury that I knew nothing about. 0/10 recommend. But life goes on! My oldest turns 5 next week so looking forward to celebrating her and her big imagination in any way I can!

  39. Camee on June 10, 2026 at 3:02 pm

  46. Molly B on June 10, 2026 at 3:59 pm

    This summer, I am looking forward to spending quality time with my kids and focusing on what matters most—family.

    This spring was one of the most difficult seasons our family has ever faced. My parents lost their home in a fire, and my husband lost his job. It was a time filled with uncertainty, grief, and stress as we worked through so many unexpected challenges.

    Now that we have had time to mourn, heal, and begin moving forward, I am looking forward to slowing down and simply enjoying each other. I am excited for pool days, family adventures, laughter, and making memories together. This experience has reminded me that while things can be replaced, people cannot. Family is truly everything.

    This summer, I am choosing gratitude, togetherness, and making the most of every moment with the people I love.

  47. Wendy Heath on June 10, 2026 at 4:03 pm
