Summer letter board and light box saying ideas

I don't think I will ever get tired of 

my letter board and light box.

They are so versatile.

You buy them once

and can change up the messages over and over again.

Today I'm sharing some of my 

favorite messages for summer!

5 super fun Summer activities for kids and teens

My kids have already said they were bored 

at least 10 times a day 

for the past 2 weeks 

that they've been on Summer break.

Our default seems to be to grab

some sort of electronic device
and before I know it,

the entire day has been spent

on You Tube and the Xbox.

This mama needs some fun and simple

activities in her back pocket for

when those bored times happen.

The following ideas are really easy,

inexpensive Summer activities

that would be fun for kids.

They would also be fun to do

with teens, youth groups and at girls camp.

Summer beauty hacks

It's Summer,
which means lazy days,
hanging out by the pool,
watching fireworks,
hunting for lightening bugs
and all the best summer activities!

No one has time, the energy or the desire

 to get do full make up,
do fancy hair and put on an uncomfortable outfit.

Today I'm sharing
Summer beauty hacks
to keep cool and be comfortable,
with a bit of style!!

Young Women Girls Camp Treat Hand outs

It's that time of year again,

Summer!

And that means it's time for

Wards and Stakes from 

the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

to prepare for their annual
Young Women/Girls Summer Camp!

YW camp is a time for girls to get out in nature,

enjoy time with one another

and get away from worldly distractions.

It's not always easy for young ladies
to leave their families, jobs, friends,
beds and their phones
to go rough it in the woods.
Well, as rough as air conditioned cabins can be.

As rough, or not rough as the case may be,
they still make huge sacrifices to go to camp.
I think it's important to remind them how loved
these young women are
so I like to make handouts to give to them.

The treats don't have to be glamourous,

just a thoughtful message!

The Best Ways to Finish School and start Summer Break

If school isn't out for your kids yet,

it will be soon.

I'm looking forward to the lazy days of Summer

and all that that entails like:

sleeping in

less busy schedules (I hope),

playing in the sun and the water 

and all the good stuff!

But I'm not going to lie-

I'm a little nervous.

Summer also means my kids eating 

and making messes

ALL DAY long,

plus they'll need chauffeuring, entertaining and 

refereeing.

In my experience, I've found that most things turn out better

if I have a plan.  So I came up with 

The Best Ways to Finish the School Year 

and start Summer Break!
