The sun is shining and the sky is bright — the last weeks of summer are here. Are you soaking up every moment? It’s perfectly OK if your answer is “not really.” Sometimes, the reality of summer doesn’t match the visions of tropical vacations and BBQ’s with family and friends we often see come June. 

But, whether the past months have been a blast, or more like blah, today, we have a few ideas for some last-minute summertime joy

How is your summer going? Have you been able to take time to relax and enjoy yourself? If not, there’s still plenty of summer left to go, and today we’re sharing a few of our favorite ways to make the most of this special season. 

(We realize it’s winter for our friends in other parts of the world, but your summer will come soon enough, so bookmark these ideas!)
