Friends, summer is my opportunity to step back from daily work on Chinese American Family to focus on long-term projects that are too big to take on during the rest of the year. While you’ll still hear from me periodically, I expect to return with regular site updates and newsletters this August.
In the meantime, I’ll leave you 10 ideas below for your own summer breaks from some of Chinese American Family’s most popular posts so far in 2017. Thank you for your continued support and I’ll look forward to sharing many more ways to Celebrate, Create, and Inspire with you this fall.
