Some days, the demands of adult life feel overwhelming, don’t they? Especially when summer arrives, I find myself yearning for a simpler time.

The weight of deadlines, chores, and endless to-do lists can certainly take the shine off those glorious long days. We crave an escape, a moment to truly unwind and rediscover the simple joys of summer. If you’re nodding along, rest assured, you are definitely not alone in this yearning for a little bit of that youthful freedom.
