What's Hot Now? Summer!

The kids will be out for summer in a matter of weeks.  Are you ready for it? 

If you are anything like me, you start the summer off strong and then after a month or two goes by, you will begin to hear the usual cries of "I'm bored".  Ugh! 

Well, this summer I am going to be armed with a few tricks up my sleeve! 

I have a few trips and things to do planned.  But I also plan to buy each of my girls a journal/scrapbook to make sure they have memories to last a lifetime.  It should also keep them busy on the days we aren't doing anything special.  And, best of all, they will remember what they did throughout the summer.  My own kids seem to forget everything once faced with the daunting question of "what did you do over the summer?".  Do your kids suddenly forget everything, too?

Here are a few of the nicer journals I found for my own girls.  Maybe they will be a source of inspiration for you. My own favorite is the blue travelers journal. It is quite nice.
