A – audiobooks

Download these onto your iphone, ipad, laptop, etc. to listen to wherever your road trip takes you this summer. Audiobooks.com or booksshouldbefree.com

B – blue

This color really says summer to me, from fresh fruit and flowers to the color of water and nautical stripes! (click images to source)

C – cheese board

This may possibly be my “C” for each season, but I love this one with the figs and radishes. Plus it just says summer casual tossed together on the wood board.

D – daisy chains

Such a sweet way to spend a hour outside with your kids. There is a field near our house with tons of little daisies for picking. In case you are like me and don’t have daisies in your own yard, check a local park or open space preserve.

E – emerald green

I especially like when green is paired with yellow or blue!
