My So Called Life: Summer Bucket List

How many times do we hear over Summer Break..."I am BORED" from your kids. This summer break I wanted to change things up. So the last week of May, I sat down with the kids and we put together a list of fun things that we can do through out the summer; aka Summer Bucket List. 

Here are just a few pictures from this Summer's Bucket List.

Little Bitty's Holiday Fun: Valentine's Day Heart Attack Part 2

What better way to tell someone how much you love them with a Valentine's Heart Attack. (It is not what you think.)


With living so far away from my parents, what better way to say "I love you" then with a box full of hearts. This Valentine's Day, I got the girls help me put together a few boxes together filled with tons of hearts, a Valentine, a picture of each us, and a small gift.







Supplies:
small box and packaging tape
color paper
fun foam shapes 
scissors
markers
glue

Holiday Fun:Glow-In-The-Dark Style

Easter egg hunts no longer require sunlight. The hunt can be much more challenging for the older kids, if the eggs are hunted for under the moonlight. Adding glow-in-the-dark eggs to the mix is a way to add some excitement to

your traditional Easter Egg Hunt.

Add a glow stick 

Glow-stick bracelets are available at most dollar stores. We had used a dozen glow-stick bracelets, dozen med size plaster eggs, and some tape. Open the plastic egg, snap the bracelet, you might want to shake the bracelet a little. Roll up the bracelet glow sticks, put them in an plastic egg (you might need to put a little tape around the egg, depending on the size of the egg), then hide them around the yard. You could also do this in your house with the lights off.

So don't be afraid to try something new, step out of the box, out of the normal. Who knows, your teenager might actual enjoy playing along with the younger kids.
