Backyard Summers, Then and Now
As the days turn cooler and the evenings come a little earlier, I find myself thinking back to summer.
Not the kind filled with faraway trips or crowded beaches, but the simple kind that happened right at home. The backyard pool, the sound of splashing water, the scent of sunscreen mixed with lemonade. Those slow afternoons when time stretched out like the sunlight on the water.
Back then, it did not take much to make a perfect day. Just a swimsuit, a few snacks, and all the time in the world. We spent hours jumping in and out of the pool, laughing until the sun dipped low and our skin smelled like sunshine.
Now I watch my kids do the same. They splash and play until they are breathless, making up games that only they understand. Sometimes, when the light hits the water just right, I see a reflection of my own childhood, the same shimmer, the same happiness that never really fades.
There is something timeless about the backyard pool. It is not just about cooling off. It is about slowing down, being present, and creating memories that linger long after summer ends. Maybe that is why it still feels like home.
At Seafancy, that is the spirit we hold close: easy, genuine, and full of heart. Swimwear made for real life, for moms and families who cherish those golden moments together, season after season.
The water still shimmers the same way it did years ago.
Only now, I see it through my children’s laughter, and somehow, that makes it even more beautiful.
