More Summertime ideas for the family!!

11. Need some kid craft inspiration?  Heather Swain's book Make These Toys is a fantastic book that will give you plenty of ideas for fun crafts made from everyday things.  

12.  How about the DRIVE-IN?  We LOVE going to the drive-in during the summer.  Find a local drive-in near you at www.drive-ins.com 

13.  Make some Homemade Ice Cream!  If you have an ice cream maker break out and make some YUMMY homemade ice cream for you 4th of July celebrations or just because.  
14.  Sidewalk Chalk Neighborhood Mural Contest! Have plenty of chalk for your 4th of July party!  We love doing sidewalk-chalk murals on 4th of July with all the neighbor kids.  It's a great tradition and brings everyone together.  Check out a previous blog post here.

Hi Tara. Haven't been here for a visit in a while. You have a nice, cheerful blog with interesting family stuff.

Good suggestions in this post. Brings back memories for Cheryl and me. Our youngest is now 17 and just left for a basketball tournament over the weekend. We usually go with her but couldn't this time (have a wedding). As she left the house she said, "You don't have to come see me off at the school." But I did anyway!

Gone are the days when we need to help find something to keep them busy and invovled! But, that is a healthy part of the transition stage, too.

Also, read a few other posts and noticed a mention of genealogy. I'm interested in working on genealogy stuff. Will you be posting more about that?

Plantation shutters always have a real look on the property with a selection of material varieties ranging from real wood, PVC to synthetic wood materials providing superior quality compared to other shutters and especially good when sourced from Australian Window Covering, Victoria.

If you haven't already installed roller blinds Melbourne in your home, you are missing out on a very important aspect of your window-covering options. These slats are an excellent way to add uniformity to any room, provide a cleaner look, and are easy to use.
