It's almost here....are you ready Moms?
Last year was our first Summer break from school, I thought I was prepared...I was wrong..
Turns out like every other aspect of my life I needed to set goals for Summer Activities for this house. No Mom wants to hear "I'm bored". And, I do not like when my kids get whiny because they are bored. So I have been thinking/searching/planning and this is what I have came up with for Summer of 2012!! Sissy helped me a lot on what she wants to do.
I have places that we are going, activities we are doing and boredom busters! :-) The words that are highlighted are links to those places/activities.
