Summertime, Summertime...

This week I discovered a new blog, by way of one of my favorites, Hands Free Mama. This blog had a great list of things to do with the kids over the summer. 10 Things Every Child Should Experience in Summer are all basically FREE things to do, that most likely all of us did all the time growing up. They are basic, easy and FUN, and a great way to get your summer started. For those of you with CMS students, congrats on completing another year. Kick back, relax and ENJOY!! Have a great week.

Blessings,
