At our house we ushered in the first official summer month with a dance party (thank you, Shakira) and eating forkfuls of chocolate sheet cake directly from the pan.

I love June. It's my birthday month. Anniversaries of loved ones are celebrated this month. Pools are sure to be open and the sun basically begs to bronze my skin. We honor fathers and flags and spend evenings chasing fireflies and dodging mosquitoes. We eat burgers and hot dogs and grilled pineapple and s'mores. We plan family activities, reunions and picnics. We rediscover our love of the great outdoors as we spend more time playing catch and less time in front of the TV. We create moments that will undoubtedly become some of our most favorite and beloved memories for years to come.

Happy June to you.
