Every summer we have a summer theme at our house. When my kids were little our themes were more elaborate (scroll down in the family section if you want to see some of our past themes), but now it’s more inspiration and ideas to make your summer more rich and meaningful. Here are the last two summer themes that we have done. Maybe it will give you some new ideas as school ends and the summer months begin.

I just returned from spending time in Cuba with an organization called Filter of Hope. We took teams of college students to Cuba for their spring breaks and spent time in Havana giving out water filters to families in need. We worked with local churches and spent time in people’s homes. One community we spent time in really captured my heart. I thought I’d share a few photos from the Indaya community. My daughter Sarah made a best friend in little Maria Abigail.
