For my boys...school was finished by May 17th. We've been keeping pretty busy since then with our Summer Bucket List. I've got ideas everywhere...Pinterest, my trusty spiral notebook, and from an Awesome Master Summer Bucket List Linky over at Little Wonders' Days!

  1. You have an awesome list!! I love all the craft ideas you have. It sounds like a fun summer is in progress. Thank you for linking up to the party, I'm so glad you did.

    I owe you a "tag" post...I am so, so sorry. I don't know how it got off my radar. I saw it in my draft list when I started blogging again this week. I started it and must have gotten sidetracked somewhere along the line. I'll work on finishing it this weekend.
