Summer is here … what a joyous time it is! Dancing in the air along with the butterflies and bees are our children’s elation. Excitement abounds – time off from school leads its way to beach days, sleepovers, camping trips and making lemonade. For us parents, hopefully we can catch at least a wink of down time each week to revel in the sun and relax with our young ones in the cool shade of a tree, appreciating the simplicity and bliss of this wonderful time.

I’d also like to thank our wonderful writers, photographers and designer for the Summer 2012 edition. You are the heart and soul of this magazine!

So relax, grab a glass of lemonade and enjoy the Summer 2012 edition of Bamboo Magazine :: Whole Family Living! And if you are so inspired, please help spread the word by sharing what you may find in our pages that speaks to you.

Heartfelt gratitude to you all for your continued support!

Wishing you and your family peace and joy,
