Summertime activities!

We are working on our second week of school being out for summer, and so far I haven't heard the words "I'm bored!!"  Around this house, my kids know not to say that...I can always find something for them to do, and it usually isn't anything they would consider fun.  They've learned to figure something out on their own!

But, I do have a whole list of things ready for them to tackle as soon as I hear those words.  In fact, if they don't get bored soon, I may have to go pull weeds myself!

I found a few deals I thought I'd share with everyone today, that might help your little one busy this summer!

If your kids love to read, you can get 4 Disney Wreck It Ralph books for 99 cents!  After that, you will get 3 new books each month.  These are a little young for Flower, but are perfect for my Little Man and the daycare kids!

If Dr. Seuss is more your style, you can get 5 books for $5.95!  After that, you get 3 new books a month.

I did the Dr. Suess book club way back when Flower was a little thing, and we still have all the books!  The look a little sad these days, but my goodness!  They are about 7 years old, and have gone through both of my kids and countless daycare kids!  I'd say it was totally worth it!  

What activities do you do with your kids to keep the busy and having fun during the summer?

I Am No Dummy!

Little Man and I have been spending a lot of time at the library lately.  We don't normally do that, mainly because when all the day care kids are here it is hard to get out.  And libraries are supposed to be quiet, and all my kids are...noisy.  Anyhow, I want to instill a love for book in Little Man, and the library is nice and cold.  And it isn't running on my electricity bill.

Anyhow, I checked out a book called Blogging for Dummies, by Susannah Gardner and Shane Birley.  The good news is, I'm not a dummy!  WOOT!  I knew a lot of it already, at least the setting it up, designing it, etc.  Unfortunately, my life would have bee a lot easier if I had had this book when I first started.  I've also learned quite a bit about blogging, though, and some of it quite important. (And just to clarify, for the blogging world, this is just my own opinion of a book I happened to read.  I wasn't compensated in anyway. Hell, they didn't even ask me to but I am anyway!)

Long story short, my blogging friends, go check this book out.  You'll learn some interesting stuff.  Unless you are a know-it-all, in which case you probably aren't even reading my little blog.

I have more tomatoes from my garden!  My life is just so complete now!  It sure is funny how many people you learn are your friends once they found out you have a garden.  Suddenly, I'm everyone's buddy, and really must tell them if I have more tomatoes than I can handle.  Obviously, they have never seen just how many tomatoes I can eat in one day, but I'll keep them in mind.

Back to the grind, I suppose.  Would you be so awesome, and recommend me to your friends?  I'm so close to having 200 followers, and I would really love to see it happen before Friday!  I might even save you some tomatoes for linking me up to you facebook and such!

Have a wonderful day, and be blessed!
