100 Things To Do This Summer!

Pin It

  It's June & summer is here!!!

  You know those summer days when your kids come to you & say, "I'm bored." I remember doing that as a kid & my mom promptly putting me to work. Usually out in the garden. :)

  Several years ago I made up a (much smaller) list of things to do during the summer. It was simple, inexpensive things & we tried to do as many as we could that summer. We ended up doing almost all of them & I have to tell you that that simple list made that summer very memorable & special.
