Mommy Tips#1 50 Fun Summer Activities for Kids

Tuesday July 16 ,2013

Hello Everyone ,


This Summer is especially special to our family because it is the first Summer Abby will start Preschool’. We only have couple Months of Summer together before school starts again in  September. I want to enjoy every second that I have with my daughter (she will always be my baby girl!). So, we’ve come with a Summer bucket list that I’m sharing with you today – hopefully it will give your family a few ideas as well!
