Summer weekends often come with pressure — packed itineraries, long drives, and overstuffed plans. But what if joy lived closer to home?
“It doesn’t have to be complicated to be fun.” — Jessica, Episode 90
In Episode 90: Picnic, Pause, and Play, Jessica and Kelly wrap up Season 3 by reminding us that the best weekends don’t need a budget or a boarding pass. Instead, they invite us to turn local spaces into personal retreats, reconnect with play, and tap into what truly brings us peace.
💡Weekend Magic Without the Overwhelm
From backyard hammocks and poolside movie nights to nature scavenger hunts and happy hour walks, the possibilities are endless (and easy). This episode builds on our June themes of rest and wind-down routines (Episode 88 & 86 — see links below) with tangible ideas for solo joy, family connection, and everything in between.
🛁 Whether it’s building a cozy fort with your kids, journaling in the sun, or creating your own backyard movie night à la inflatable pool—your summer weekend is yours to design.
