Grab-and-Go Snack Stashes

I know everyone has started thinking about school.

I was reading I Heart Nap Time! and found some great ideas.

I thought I would share this one with you.

I know Avery is going to be hungry when she gets home. This looks like an idea that I can tackle and she can enjoy!

She found this idea from Real Simple!

Easy and Cute Craft

While blog stalking today, I came across this easy craft.

A treat stand!

If you are interested, go and visit I Heart Nap Time for complete instructions. It cost less than $2!!

Half-Price Books

If you are doing the book club at Half-Price Books, the reading logs are due between July 25th and August 7th. If you read at least 600 minutes, each child gets $5 to spend in the store. I found that reading 15 minutes a day was plenty. We were able to get 5 books with our $15 credit!

Here is the link if you have been reading every day, but didn't know about this club.

Good website for moms

I ran across this website today. Thought it was pretty neat. I already printed off the puppet printables and the kids did that for a craft today. I like some of the snack and recipe ideas also. Hope it inspires you to do something different!

Summer travel time!

OK, so I am thinking I am super fabulous.
We leave on a road trip, (yes... me, him, and the three of them), in a car, for hours on end, on Sunday.
That is not the fabulous part.
I went to the dollar store today and bought each kid the cheapest little nylon backpack every made, (i am sure it will at least make it through the trip), a cookie sheet, and a pack of magnetic wooden letters. I am going to fill the backpack with this and other books, crayons, etc, for the trip. What I want to know is your most fabulous idea to keep kids busy in the car?? Please post soon, time is ticking!

Dig Up a Good Book

The Harris County Public Libraries have started their Summer Reading Program.

There are 3 different levels (10 books, 500 pages, or 500 minutes).

Register on-line at www.hcpl.net.

Barnes and Noble has a Summer Reading Program too!

Click here for information on the reading program at Half Price Books!

I know I support anything that encourages reading!

Let us know if you know of another reading program for the summer!

Happy Reading!!!
