Below, our family has collected some of our favorite Summer songs, movies, books, and recipes to share with you. We hope it incites a little happiness, entertainment, flavor, movement, and community into your day.
Siete Summers
Playlist
Normally, summer playlists set the mood for carne asadas or pool parties with agua frescas. While this summer may look a little differently than last, music can still bring fun-in-the-sun vibes to a party of one (or a few). This Siete Summers playlist is a press-play-and-get-on-with-your-day jam session, created for when you’re sunbathing in the backyard or enjoying a summery cocktail on the patio.
School may be out for the summer, but don’t put your bookmarks away just yet! We put together a few of our favorite summertime reads that you can enjoy in your favorite reading nook, or out on a sunkissed picnic blanket. Kick back, read a chapter, and get lost in a whole new world for an afternoon.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming! We’re taking Dory’s advice: swimming through the heat and learning how to speak whale… Actually, that’s probably harder than it seems, so, instead, we’ve listed out some of our favorite summertime flicks.
