School is almost out!!! It’s time for family fun.

I finally felt it today–the anticipation for the last day of school.  While we were rushing out the door today, I thought about how great it is going to be to start my day off with a relaxed, unhurried cup of coffee.   It’s the little things in life that make me happy–along with coffee and wine.

This week on Family Fun Friday, my features are all about the approaching summer break.  I am getting excited about the time with the kids and our summer vacation.

The excitement is in the air!

Planet Smarty Pants shared 6 “Must Do” Summer Activities with kids.  Simple and rewarding!

Laura Sue Shaw has some helpful tips on Healthy Habits for an Amazing Summer.

This Summer Reading Challenge to Explore New Genres is definitely something we are going to do now that both of my kids can read and enjoy it!

Since we will be spending time outside in the garden these Chemical Free Pesticides are absolutely needed around here.

Onto the Link Party!

Family Fun Friday is a weekly link party where bloggers share their family oriented crafts, recipes, thoughts, homeschool tips and activities.  Each week each co-host picks SIX features!  Link up your best posts for the chance of being featured on five blogs.  We have a great community here at Family Fun Friday with over 200 posts linked up each week.  Moms take a minute to surf around and see what is linked.  I’m sure you’ll find something fabulous.
