Happy Father's Day! Do you have someone in your life you're celebrating today? Are you wishing your priests a Happy Father's Day?
I got Andrew and the boys adorable matching Tolkien t-shirts from Kaitlyn's shop (affiliate link!) and grabbed muffins for breakfast, so I'm feeling proud of myself for actually remembering a gift! Did you get your husband or father something awesome?

Elizabeth (age 4) came running inside the other day to tell me, "MOM! There's a whole FIELD of hawkweed! Come see!!!"
Hawkweed is a wildflower that looks a lot like a dandelion, only with a longer, sturdier stem.
She grabbed me by the hand and dragged me out to an area of the yard that hadn't been mowed in a while, and she was right! The scraggly section of yard full of weeds had turned overnight into a treasure trove of wildflowers.
It's one of our very favorite things to do together during the spring and summer - take walks and identify the new wildflowers around us, making bouquets out of our favorites (only at home - we never pick flowers when we're at a park). And because I'm always looking for more ideas to add a little excitement and adventure to our lazy summer days, I'll give you a list of our favorites.
