Welcome to the Yakezie Natsu (Summer) edition weekly review.

We’ve enjoyed great weather for the first week of school summer vacation here in Virginia Beach. The kids and I have been to the beach a few times, I’ve been riding my bike more than usual, and my parents in-law arrived on Wednesday to enjoy some time with us.

I’ve been so busy with family that I have lost some discipline for posting blog articles. Financially Consumed set a new record for the fewest new posts this past week. I need to turn this around next week and re-focus on producing engaging content.

Thankfully, the Yakezie Network has continued to produce outstanding articles. I enjoy this opportunity each week to share some of the best with you.

    Hi Hunter! Thanks so much for listing my post! That’s so nice you’re in Virginia Beach. I visited there once when I was a kid and had a great time. I like to bike ride in the summer too and need to get out outside more now that the weather is warmer. Glad you’re spending time with your family! Have a great rest of the weekend. -Sydney

      Thanks Sydney. We like living here, it offers a lot for young families like ours. Interesting, I used to live in Sydney, Australia. Have you been? It’s quite possibly the coolest place on earth.

    Great roundup. Family time while riding the bike is way more important than blog work. Good luck in getting back in the saddle, but don’t beat yourself over it too much. Thanks for including me!

      Thanks Buck, you’re right. I need to pace myself on this blogging project. I really don’t want to burn out.
