So far I feel like we have packed a lot into our summer: planting a garden, going to TJED Land, doing the shows for the summer reading program at the library, playing at grandma’s house, playing with cousins, going swimming, going to parks, and keeping up with the housework and yardwork. For my own growth I am doing the Abigail Adams economics class, teaching my own finishing school for LDS moms and daughters, and going to LEMI Training next week.

If your summer needs more excitement or structure, I suggest you go to my friend Mary Ann’s site and get her Dozen Weeks of Fun. She has some super ideas to keep kids unplugged and actively engaged in learning exciting things. Go to http://home-school-coach.com/summer-fun-package-activities-crafts-ideas/. You are going to love it!
