This Summer Reading post is sponsored by Scholastic, but all thoughts are my own. This past week has been HOT. It feels like summer is here already, even though we still have 4 1/2 weeks of school left before summer vacation officially begins. I’ve been a mom of kids in school long enough, though,…
Seven Peaks Water Park Fun #WW
One of our favorite spots this summer was the water park a block away from my parent’s house. We had so much fun there! I don’t have many pictures because I didn’t bring my camera along, but I wanted to make sure to “memorialize” our time there anyway. And now I’m missing summer… Until…
Summer Memory Picture Frame Craft for Kids
I’m not the craftiest person out there, but I do love to get creative, especially during the summer when I need to find more ways to keep the kids occupied out of the heat of the summer sun. This summer, I participated in Skip to My Lou’s Summer Craft Camp for Kids for the…

Cub Scout Day Camp #WW
6 1/2 hours is too long to be outside when it’s 95 degrees, hot and humid, with no breeze. But when you’re outside because your son’s den needs a chaperone at cub scout day camp, it’s totally worth it. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. Despite the excessive heat, we had a great…

Week 1 of the #30SummerDays Photo Challenge #PSF
It’s sad that I would be proud of myself after a week of taking pictures every day. That’s what a 30 day photo challenge will do for me, I guess. I’ve been having a blast with my new camera. Here’s just a peek at what my camera captured this week: Apparently AJ is in…
