With the school year winding down (hooray!) and summer weather finally arriving here in the North East I am starting a list of summer goals and fun ways to spend time with the kids. I love the having a list to run by the kids and say “pick one” and that will be our adventure for the day! Summer is a time to unwind as a family, reconnect from the hustle and bustle of the spring sports schedules and just chill out and have a good time!
That’s why I decided to share with all of you some of my ideas (plus a printable list)
