Summer's A Comin'...

Easter's gone, spring break is becoming a distant memory, and the consignment sales for spring are no more. Do you know what that means? Summer is coming...and fast. If you're a preschool mom like me, there are 6 more weeks left until Memorial Day, and my TO DO list is L.O.N.G., so I need to get to it. CMS parents, you've got a little longer - 38 school days to be exact! Now that the countdown is on, the summer camps are filling up. Check out our Summer Camp List for local camps to keep your kids entertained and engaged!!

Spring weekends are full of fun in Charlotte (just take a look at the list for Saturday). Have a great (and productive) week!

Blessings,
The Buzz
