The kids are out of school in less than two weeks and that means....Mommy gets a break! I love summer. We don't plan a ton of stuff, instead we take it easy and do fun things around the house and swim a lot.
My favorite thing to do in the summer is read. The patio is my favorite spot, with an icy cold beverage and a book. This year, I won't have quite as much time, because I'll be planning for the next school year and we're going on an 11 day vacation to California.
There are 11 weeks of summer vacation! I'm picking 8 books to read....I'm confident that I can accomplish this, and it will encourage my kids to read too.
I created the Summer Reading Program at my kids' school this year so I'd really like them to make me look good and read as much as they can.
