The Ultimate Guide to Summer Traditions with Petite Keep!

Summer memories hold a special place in our hearts, and it's no secret that it is our favorite season here at Petite Keep! Summertime represents the epitome of childhood and the essence of tradition. We often reminisce on our childhood memories together at PK, because at the end of the day, they aren't just snapshots in our minds; they are memories that inspire our current family traditions!

As summer comes to an end and the new school year is almost here, we want to share some of our favorite last-minute ideas to help you make the most of your time together and create cherished memories before school starts!

Turn your summer evening into unforgettable memories by watching a movie outside! Pop some popcorn, blow up inflatable chairs, and enjoy your favorite movie together. Whether it's a summer birthday celebration or a family get-together, both young and old are sure to remember this for years to come. Click the picture below to gather inspiration for your movie night!

Last Day of Summer Picnic

This is a charming yet simple way to celebrate the end of summer! You can prepare a special homemade meal together, perhaps a dish that holds memories, or you can always opt for takeout from a local restaurant! Then head to a nearby park or garden!  It's a special way to reflect on the memorable days and activities spent together this summer! Click the picture to gather ideas for your end-of-summer picnic!

Late Summer Tea Party

The concept of putting memories in your 'Summer Trunk' is all about preserving memories and helping us document the little things in life. Whether it's a daily or weekly practice, take a moment to write down a special memory or something that made you happy, and put it in your Trunk. After a few years, your family's Trunk will be filled with fun tidbits to be read aloud and reminisce on!

Summer memories are so much more than just recollections of the past! They are the very essence of our childhood, the experiences that have shaped us, and the moments that continue to inspire us! As we cherish these memories together, let’s not forget to keep creating new ones, making sure that every summer is just as magical as the last.
