Simply in Control

It's been a while since I did a check in post! How has summer been going?? Have you been traveling or at home? What activities are the kids taking part in? We've been busy with my family over the past month and things have finally started to slow down a bit. After hearing my son say "I'm bored" one too many times, I finally enrolled him in...wait for it...art classes! Art is his passion, he draws in his sketchbook all day, and this is something he really wanted. Going against our culture, I wanted him to build on his creativity at a nice studio nearby. Looking forward to taking him to his first class soon iA!
What classes have your kids gone to? I need all the options because I'm so new to extra curricular activities for kids!

Coming up on today's story hop: Work Desk Minimalism.
I find it interesting how different people define minimalism differently. For some, it may be just keeping their laptop on their desk and nothing else. Some might add a few plants for a fresh look, and some may keep a couple of decor items.
What does minimalism mean to you, and how is it important? Let me know in the comments, and find out my answer in the story hop at 12:30PM EST :)
