Andrea Gibbs on Reclaiming One's Summer

"We e were so enthralled with exiting lockdown restrictions that we jumped fully into, well, everything possible this summer.

Although all of these children’s activities serve a purpose, they have kept me practically living in our SUV as I shuttled to and fro all day.."

In a recent commentary, writer Andrea Gibbs reflected on ways one may slow down the time and build family closeness during the summer.
