Our Top 10 Favorite Articles to Read Before the End of Summer

It has been an interesting summer, to say the least! While it is often easy to focus on what we could not do, at Bug Bite Thing, we are choosing to reflect on all the new things we had the opportunity to learn, experience and create.

What filled our summer days and nights? Cross-country road trips with incredible sights. Overnight stays at Airbnb gems in areas we hadn’t previously thought to visit. Outdoor projects to connect with the kids while also encouraging them to disconnect from devices. Luscious new gardens overflowing with flowers, fruits and vegetables … and bugs, too. Last-minute glamping and camping excursions (sometimes in our backyards!) filled with hikes, wildlife and dips in the springs.

As we say goodbye to summer and think back to our favorite memories of the season, we want to share some of the inspiration behind our adventures. Here is a roundup of articles with tips, tricks and tidbits we urge you to take advantage of before summer ends.
