Grab and Go Pizza Popcorn
Like every season, summer has a magic all its own. The rhythm and texture of these warmer months signals an urge to take in some of life’s simple pleasures while we have the opportunity. There’s a treasure trove waiting to be discovered just outside the screen door. One deep breath and we smell the freshness of berries waiting to be picked from the fields, the scent of the ocean calling us to come frolic. The wind whispers to us to jump on a bicycle or put on hiking shoes and embrace the feeling of movement. Before the magic of summer ends; before berries fade and the waters chill; before the back-to-school sales begin; before we take yet another deep sigh and wonder where the summer went, make it a priority to go while the getting’s good.
