Ah, so ready for all of this! And WOWOWOW we are surfing the same brainwaves!!! I literally just posted a summer throwback listicle and then was graced by your goodness in my feed!!! 😂👏👏 Respect for the note about appreciating phones. Although, looking up movie times in the newspaper sounds kinda ideal to me (we used to have to call a hotline, lol).

I think it is a collective longing to escape the screen addiction from us similar-minded folks that know what is important in life. And I LOVE the way different people come up with their own spin on things. And I'm hopping over to yours right now.

I love the idea of crafts but the reality is I’m terrible at them. I have so many unfinished projects. I doubt our daughter’s baby book will ever be finished. 😞 (She’ll be 24 next month) The reality is I’ve liked four things most of my life…all things books (reading, shopping, and discussing), food, sitting by a body of water, and anything French (the language, culture, the people, etc) None of these involve a screen 🙂 Although Google Maps is essential for navigating the Paris. 😉

I love all your hobbies! Doesn't have to be a craft, right? I'm an ADHD type so crafts are veryyyyy hard for me. I've started a friendship bracelet and I need to lock in.

OK, my eldest child is 22 and I thought "I should make him a scrapbook" then thought...nahhhhh.

I love this so much. I’ve been craving more analog magic!! I’m about one sunny afternoon away from dusting off my childhood friendship bracelet kit.

I am here for the nostalgic summer this year! I’ve committed to capturing the summer on film. It’ll make it easier not to have my phone out so much when I’m out and about and I’m excited to work on a skill!

Oh that's even more nostalgic and retro. I love it. Can't wait to follow along. Genius idea to have your camera but also be present. And the thrill of getting the photos back!
