Hello! How are you? How is summer treating you so far? Wonderful, I hope! ;) Summer is lots of fun, but those hot summer afternoons can get a little tough. Especially when the kiddos get a little bored & think that they have nothing to do, right? ;) Well, I have something fun that will solve that problem around your house. Today I am excited to share over 50 Summer Activities for Your Kids. I printed all of these ideas out, cut them into strips & then put them inside this cute mason jar that I made using my Silhouette. Now when my kiddos are bored, I send them over to the jar to pick out a activity to do. Some are just for fun ~ I did put some service ideas, chores & organization projects in there, too. ha! ;)(Actually those are some of our favorites!) I also have a brand new Silhouette promotion to tell you all about. So keep reading! :)
