This post is in collaboration with Faith & Family Collective. I was generously given The Gathering Box in exchange for my review, but as always, all opinions stated are my own.

Summer is here and that can only mean one thing. It’s time to celebrate with Sunday Sundaes! The longer nights and warmer days make it such a fantastic time to spend more intentional time together as a family. Our family absolutely loves to celebrate summer. There’s truly something incredible that happens when we take time to stop and notice, pause and savor, and truly celebrate the ordinary and extraordinary moments.

Sunday Sundaes is one of our favorite summer traditions and dates all the way back to my brother’s college days where it all began at a little ice cream shop called Walrus. This cute little ice cream shop in the heart of Fort Collins, CO serves up a tasty treat called Saturdaes (basically an ice cream Sundae, but way better). In true sibling love my brother and his wife shared the details of their favorite Saturday tradition with me—eating Saturdaes on Saturday. I obviously was a huge fan, because almost every Saturday I would head to Walrus with a group of friends to enjoy a Saturdae. It was glorious! Fast forward 6 years, +2 babies, and a move to South Carolina later, the tradition lives on with a slight twist. What once was Saturdaes on a Saturday has now become Sunday Sundays (inspired by our neighbors inviting us over for Sunday Sundays the first summer after we moved). Ready to start this fun summer tradition with your family?

Since ice cream sundaes are all about the toppings we went a little bit overboard with our options. I usually try to get one favorite topping for each family member and then a few others that we all enjoy, but you can make it as simple or elaborate as you’d like.

One of my favorite features of The Gathering Box is the reflection cards that are included. The cards share 20 different reasons to stop and notice blessings, struggles, and moments we might otherwise miss. They include a reflection, scripture to read, and discussion questions. This box makes it so easy to create purposeful family time!

For our first Sunday Sundaes of the season we chose to celebrate summer. I hung the banner, set out the reflection card, lit a candle, and pulled out our ice cream bar ingredients. Easy peasy!
