Summer is a great time to squeeze in extra reading. We are big readers here, but something about the long, lazy days of summer just calls for a good and exciting book.

I thought I would share some of what is on my kids’ reading list. They will read other books, in fact I have a hard time keeping up with my oldest son and his demand for new library books.

But here are some fun ones we are reading together.

My kids love to do artwork. And they’re pretty lucky because I’m a mom who doesn’t mind a mess. I decided to try my hand at art camp at home. I ran to the dollar store and picked up a bunch of supplies that were a dollar each, including brushes, small pallets for paint and various size canvases. The paint we used this week I already had at home. We did camp over the course of 4 days.

We love scouring the internet together to come up with LEGO build ideas and my oldest son and I put together this 30 Days of Lego Build ideas for you!
