If you're like me the summer is here and gone before you know it. I'm always looking for ways to draw the last drop out of summer and I have the urge to do so even more with my oldest starting Kindergarten this fall. (How is that possible?!?)
I discovered this wonderful idea over at Good+Happy Day and had to share.
Grab some craft sticks and have your children decorate them and allow to dry. Then gather your family together and make a list of things you want to do this summer. Some can be realistic ideas or just pie-in-the-sky dreams. Write one idea on each craft stick and make an effort to pick one each day and try to have fun with it. I made a list with my husband and girls over the weekend and was really humbled by the simple things they wanted to do when I had been stressing over classes to enroll them in and activities to keep them "busy" all summer.
Here is a sampling of our list and I encourage you to make your own and ENJOY this summer!
