Leah’s Thoughts:
This one is such a gentle reminder that “bored” doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It’s all about slowing down, looking around, and enjoying unstructured time (something I’m constantly trying to help my kids—and myself—embrace). A great pick for quiet summer days when everyone needs a little reset.
