Hi Reader,

I want you to picture me right now. I'm on the porch. Indy is asleep at my feet (his only setting), my coffee is getting cold because I keep forgetting to drink it, and I am so happy to finally tell you this:

Home Sweet Summer is here.

INTRODUCTORY PRICING $11

I dreamed this magazine up months ago, back in the gray of February, when summer felt impossibly far away. I kept thinking about you — about all of us — and how we keep arriving at June already exhausted. We wait for summer all year, and then we pack the calendar and somehow miss it.

So I made you something different. Something you can hold in your hands (or read on your iPad on the porch, no judgment) that feels like a slow summer.

It's 66 pages, and it's a buffet — not a checklist. Inside you'll find:

• A 12-week summer devotional — one verse and a gentle practice for each week
• 30 ways to live slower, from morning coffee outside to praying over your house at night
• Family recipes and a simple summer tablescape
• A garden notebook, summer book lists, and slow-summer guides for every age — kids, teens, young adults, and the grandparents holding it all together
• A slower, more meaningful Fourth of July, and a gentle re-entry into fall when the time comes

You can grab it as an instant digital download to read right away, print it or put it on a device to tote it around all summer.

And if you'd like the hands-on companion: at checkout you can add The Slow Summer Companion, a digital packet of 15 printables — bucket lists, scripture cards, a meal plan, a garden tracker, solstice and Fourth of July printables, and more — for just $8.25.

My prayer for your summer is that you taste a sun-warm tomato in July and remember it in February. That you sit on a porch at dusk in August with someone you love and not say much for a long time. That you forgive yourself for the rotisserie chicken nights.

I want you to exhale.

We're walking through these twelve weeks together. Thank you for being here.

With so much love,

and 🐾 Indy, Poppy, and the cats, who supervised every page

P.S. — The physical magazine is in the works and should be available within the next couple of weeks! Feel free to hit reply and let me know if you want me to save you one off the top in case they go fast!
