What plans do you have for the kids this summer? Will you be creating a bucket list with them? Why not try some of the ones on my list and see what all you can cross off before the summer is out? It’s such a good thing. It also gives you a plan for the summer. Some things to cross off always make me work harder to get them done before school starts!
