4 tiny ways I'm enjoying the end of summer ☀️

[@MadisunGray]

Have you tried embracing the seasons? 🌞

[@Kay-lt3wx]

Yes! I have two children, 1 and 2 years of age. It's such a simple, beautiful season. I am starting to take steps to slow down and be mindful of and so thankful for all the details of toddler life. Your videos have helped me with this so much!! Also, I'm trying to decide if this video is hinting that you will be adding to your sweet family next year...😊I'm definitely not saying this in a pushy sort of way, your family is so precious just as it is. I was just trying to tell if you were wanting us to read between the lines a bit?❤ Also could you do a video on your favorite children's books?

[@TheMennomilist]

I definitely embrace them, though winter is toughest to embrace. I have to really work on goal lists that season.

[@ysislandchanel]

soo wholesomeeee I will be changing to this seasonal living ! it was always within me good to know others do aswell]

[@maureenw6065]

I would be embarrassed to admit how many times I have watched your videos over and over again. Madisun, you have made me appreciate being a wife and mom in ways I never thought I could. You are an inspiration and your content has been a blessing to me in more ways than you’ll ever know! Thank you for using and sharing the gifts God has given you!

[@MadisunGray]

my heart! thank you soooooo so much!

[@Morochis]

Same here! I always come back to them

[@naturallyaziz]

Girl you better never be embarrassed when we all in the same boat 😂😂 I type her name in jus reset anytime I feel my life is starting to get unbalanced again

[@meadowsandmountain]

I wish my work life would reflect this natural cycle of life that you describe. Summer is usually the slowest time whereas fall/winter are the busiest seasons of all. 😪 I find it hard living according to the seasons if the majority of my life doesn‘t reflect them.

[@prpleskies]

Can I just say that your fan base raving about your content and mindset shifts they’ve had is what’s making me binge your channel right now. I’m going to take some notes because that is the audience I’d love to have one day 💜

[@HerCupOfSimple]

This year We've been using our camping tent in our backyard! We've enjoyed so much the summer evenings... it was such a great idea!

[@MadisunGray]

ooooo that sounds lovely!

[@Graceinmotherhoodblog]

I loved this video so much. Thank you for being such an inspiration 🥹

[@emilymcclain591]

Bringing in the bigger table to hold your growing family is such a blessing! My mom had to do this herself recently and you could just see in her eyes that this was a moment she had been dreaming of for a long time. This perspective on the seasons is so good Madi! ❤ Thank you!

[@MadisunGray]

always love reading your comments emily! thank you!

[@NonaMaryGrace1952]

I enjoyed hearing the seasons. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Your analysis of the seasons is spot on. We all know this deep inside ourselves, as it is based on wisdom built up by millennias (or longer) of living with and in nature. I think in every season it is important to spend time outside, not just for sun exposure, but also to make your body feel the seasons. Personally, my energy is up incredibly all spring through summer and only really dips in autumn, most likely because the weather here is dark, windy and very wet here at that time. That said, it still feels like summer has yet to start here. I have been working through the entire period and while I appreciate all the rainfall for our plants, we could use a bit of sun too, to make it at least feel like it is summer. Currently it is more autumn-light and I have all this pent up energy that wants to celebrate and go outside.

[@MadisunGray]

Well said ❤️

God bless your family ❤

[@Jo-hello]

It’s hard when summer doesn’t go as you hoped it would! I’m doing my best to enjoy it but it is very different to the simple gentle summer I wanted to have with my kids. But I’ll do my best to embrace this season anyway 🌻

[@MadisunGray]

Yes 🙌🏾

[@lyss984]

Thank you for creating this beautiful piece. Sending you love. ❤

[@hayleebaird-lira5558]

I moved to the PNW last fall and I’m not ready for this summer to be over. It goes so fast and is dark so long 😢

[@lucyhuron8771]

Summertime is my favorite time to embrace simple seasonal meals, twice daily dips in the pool and Al fresco potlucks w family and friends. Thanks for the beautiful & inspirational videos you post.

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Madisun I LOVE your videos- I only wish they were longer!🙏💖

[@MadisunGray]

😘 this is so sweet. Thank you.

[@Kay-lt3wx]

Heartily agree! I've been scavenging KZbin for more people like Madisun and just keep coming back and rewatching...and rewatching again these heartwarming videos ❤❤

[@mckenziebyrd7056]

Same, I keep rewatching them as well! In love with this content. I could watch for hours ❤

[@bridgetg2661]

Live in Australia but visiting Hungary at the moment and enjoying the softer sun here - you’re lucky here in the northern hemisphere that the sun isn’t scorching (as much) 😊

[@juliebarrett8903]

Yes! We can not have enough reminders to live into the seasons - the earth seasons, the life phase seasons…I like to keep this reminder close: that there are seasons of fallow fields, as well as planting and harvest time. Fallow time is necessary, too; to pause and rest is not “wasted time” - it’s important time to get grounded, however that happens for you, put aside impatience and know that you are preparing for the next active season. The seasons of our lives are cyclical, like the earth seasons, too…each one worthy of our attention.

[@MadisunGray]

Well said ❤️

[@ambernicolesutton2073]

Would love the chickpea salad recipe 🤗 looked so divine. I also have been wanting to ask for your dandelion tea recipe🌻

[@Chrissyhappy]

Food for thought. I really enjoyed this thank you. I’m still on my path to slow living and enjoying the changes very much. Thank you for your wisdom.😊

[@richellelewis6937]

Always love your content Madisun! Been practicing a simple living lifestyle for years and continue to embrace it since becoming a mom 2 years ago. I've got an almost 2 year old daughter and another on the way ❤ Wouldn't want to live any other way!

[@MadisunGray]

Thank you 😘

[@amandamorris4033]

I have so much appreciation for your content... Thanks again, Madi!

[@MadisunGray]

big love to you friend!

[@LiveAPrettyLittleLife]

Your channel brings me so much value- excellent videography, great uplifting words, chill music ❤ thanks for sharing your gifts!

[@anitas5817]

I love embracing the seasons and appreciating the passing of each one, and I hope to keep getting better at doing so. Beautiful video as always. I was admittedly distracted by the beautiful throw blankets and so happy to see the link.

[@Emily_Rudolph]

I loove your videos, I just wish they were longer! Lol

[@mividaypaz]

Love this 🫶🏼🤍🤍🤍🤍 my life of living 💚

[@MadisunGray]

thank you 🙏🏻

[@myhopefilleddays2923]

LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for these simple but powerful reminders of embracing 💕

[@fairysoulz4903]

I soooo love that you talked about eating and living the seasons. I am in tune with this as well. I just made a list of summer foods to post on the fridge so my kids can learn too. As most probably can agree that growing up in America Seasonal food isn't talked about as much. So I really want to fine tune!

[@music-lab-relax]

Madisun, thank you for sharing your lifestyle 💚 It's so inspiring 🌿

[@genesiscarrillo6172]

Loved the video ! ❤ would you mind sharing some book recommendation for kids. A homeschooling video for the upcoming school year would be great. I’d loved to see how slow living can be incorporated into homeschooling’s

[@laynieweaver7090]

Your videos are my favorite! Thanks for linking the seasonal food guide…I’ve been thinking about that recently 🙂

[@MadisunGray]

thanks friend! that means so much to me!

[@athlene110]

Love your videos!

[@MadisunGray]

thank you!

[@faithittillyoumakeit4050]

Summer for me is the worst time of the year. I live in Oklahoma and yesterday it was 123 degrees! That is not fun even the pool or lake water feels like boiling water.

[@MadisunGray]

I FEEL this. We lived in Phoenix for a couple years 😂

[@maudfischer5315]

In summer, we are trying to stay outside as much as possible. Walking barefoot, feeling the Sun, the wind and soft rain, hearing bugs, eating fruits. Simple 😘

[@user-ld5et3ht7i]

[@shannonhauser8610]

Thank for this great video. You really inspired me to question how I see myself and my life. I am struggling at the moment with overwhelm by taking care of my 1yo and homemaking. I sometimes see daycare as only option for some needed rest, but I hate the idea of giving my son away. Do you have any tips?

[@MadisunGray]

it's a big perspective change and give yourself grace if it takes time! I never ever thought I would be able to work from home and not have a tv to put my kids in front of for a couple hours a day so I could get stuff done... but I was just reflecting on how that's so funny I used to think that because I'm just used to not having a tv anymore and I think parenting does get easier as we grow and they do too! just give yourself grace to take small steps at a time, lighten your own load too! maybe declutter or set a budget to relieve some background stress and see how you feel :)

[@shannonhauser8610]

Thanks so much for your answer ❤️
