Style Magazine - June 2021
It’s been two weeks since my family of three has grown to a family of five—and no, I didn’t have twins or adopt a pair of pups. We moved in with my parents while our house undergoes major construction (a remodel that will eventually be featured on HGTV; stay tuned, literally, for updates). Transition is always an interesting time, especially when it involves returning to your roots and bunking up with your mom, dad, husband, and two-year-old. Mornings look different now (mainly louder…and earlier), family time is all the time, and privacy is pretty much nonexistent. It’s not better; it’s definitely not worse; it’s just different. But change, in my opinion, is oftentimes a good thing—especially when it involves a pool, built-in babysitters, and a fridge full of tasty food. Plus, my parents aren’t getting any younger, nor is my daughter, so I’m going to cherish this time together and make the most of our “summer vacation.” If you, too, are looking to maximize the hot days ahead, keep reading. This month’s magazine will have you jumping for summertime joy, starting with our feature on page 53. From cool ice cream concoctions (including the colossal cone on our cover from Snooks) to in-person (finally!) events that run the gamut from a grape stomp at Wise Villa Winery to a good old-fashioned fair, plus top spots to make a splash, there’s something to ensure everyone has fun in the sun. Just remember: Be water wise (for top swim safety tips, see page 62), stay hydrated (don’t miss “Drink Up: The Importance of H20” on page 34), and wear sunscreen (check out our top blocks and other summertime essentials on page 40). Finally, how could we forget the rad dads? Father’s Day is June 20, after all. When I asked my husband how he wants to celebrate, he replied: “a round of golf, followed by a beer and family BBQ.” Easy enough, eh? If you also have a golf-obsessed guy on your hands, check out “Greens with Envy” (page 24) for 10 tee-rrific public courses that are pretty without being pretentious. In “Family Matters,” we introduce you to four local fathers who go above and beyond for their kids and our community. Read their unique, and uniquely touching, stories starting on page 18. There’s plenty of things to see, do, and celebrate this summer, so grab your loved ones (maybe even move in with them!) and seize the season. Cheers!
