Summer is here....and school is OUT

Ahhhh...it's summer.  So much to look forward to this season...flip flops, sundresses, shorts and sandals.  You cannot wait to have a few days by the pool while catching some sun rays (don't forget to apply the sunscreen) or venture away to much needed vacation because afterall, you have worked hard all year to earn some free time this season.

There's just one tiny matter you must take into consideration...YOUR CHILDREN!  They are out of school which means as the adult, you are responsible for keeping them entertained with lots of fun and cool things to do to beat the heat and keep them entertained.  Don't stress out if you feel like your funds won't cover the cost of everything because I will provide you with a some fun ideas to keep the whole family entertained.

Keep your family on a budget this summer by creating a bucket list of things of things to do.  Allow everybody to make a contribution of at least 2 activities they want to do, this way, nobody is left out of the planning process.  Next, select a "bucket" or a container of some sort to keep your list of future ventures handy.  Once you have completed each activity simply cross it off the list and move on to the next one.

This should provide tons of family entertainment for the entire summer and both the children along with the adults will look forward to having fun.
