Golden Summer Moments

a happy little project for mothers

YOUR INVITATION

July 8 - August 26, 2025 (7 weeks)

This is your invitation to take a quick pause in the midst of moving days to collect the golden moments—those heart-exploding instants that quickly pass by. Let's commit to a practice of preserving evidence of these days—like catching fireflies in a jar—not because they are perfect, but because life can be so impossibly brutal sometimes and the tiny moments are what makes it still breathtaking.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Each day, or whenever you can: jot a note, snap a picture, or make a sketch to catch a favorite moment. Keep it easy..

I shudder at “summer bucket lists” of activities to complete. This is different. This isn't about checking boxes or creating moments. This is about honoring the natural moments that emerge..

I've started collecting the details in my own life that no one else sees—the way Max sleeps with one leg dangling off his bed, a scraped elbow held out for me to bandage, glimpsing my son's teenage profile in the passenger seat and noticing him suddenly changing - with the sunset light telling me: pay attention.

I hope you are noticing these sweet things in your world too.

Committing to a practice of pausing to preserve passing moments is like catching fireflies in a jar—honoring the things that have that special quality worth noticing and remembering. The sacred ordinary.

You may want to make it a daily practice, a weekly reflection, or whatever rhythm feels right for you.

I'm inviting you to do this with me because we deserve to see, hear, and celebrate each other. I want to know about what's sweet to you that isn't shared on social media, and I want to tell you about riding bikes to Carvel with Jackson.

Note: This doesn't need to be an elaborate project. You don't need perfect consistency, beautiful prose, or professional-looking photos. I recently found a scribble - a half sentence - and a wobbly stick figure sketch from 2017, and yet my soul felt very full.
