We had another beautiful weekend! I’m so glad that we’ve been able to enjoy the weekends. When I was working, I worked every weekend: 10 hour days. I always felt like I was missing all the fun that happens on the weekends.
Friday started out with a trip to the library to get some new books and movies.
With summer here, there will be many opportunities to host a cookout or attend one. These tips can help keep kids safe while enjoying the party.
Before guests arrive, take a walk around the deck, yard, or wherever your cookout will be taking place. Make sure to pick up any large sticks or rocks that could be a hazard to little ones. Put away any garden tools or chemicals that may be in the area. These things may be obvious to adults, but to children, they’re dangerous.
The grill is probably the most dangerous thing at a cookout. When setting up your grilling area, make sure that you’re putting it out of the way. You don’t want the kids (or anyone really) to keep having to go past it to play or while running around. If you can, make sure you the wind isn’t blowing in the direction of where people will be sitting. This will help the smoke from blowing right into everyone’s faces. If need be, consider putting a baby gate around the grilling area.
It has been hot-hot-hot lately and we need a break! We picked up a little pool at the store this week and enjoyed some morning pool time.
I’m a big twitter party addict! I try to get in one a day, but sometimes I’ll skip a day and then need to make up for it by doing a couple another day! Once you start, you’ll want to find more!

This summer is going to be much different from every other year. This is my first summer as a stay-at-home mommy. I decided we’ll make a bucket list for the summer. I could only imagine what kind of things Charlie would come up with for us to do, but he didn’t get too wild this year. I also want to make sure there’s some things on here for everyone to do, but not necessarily everyone together.
I’m sharing my free printable for you to create your own summer bucket list. Gather the kids or the hubby and have everyone toss out ideas. Have fun with it and get creative!
