Hooray! Brooke and I are going to be on Fresh Living again today at 1pm MDT. You can check us out there to see this project in action and all the other cute things we have worked up for Father's Day! Now, on to the post. Some of my best ideas come when I am trying to go to sleep at night. (Isn't that the worst?)  This was one of those ideas and I was so giddy and excited to make it that I almost couldn't wait till nap-time.

Summer Fun Chart-Kirsten Edition :)
So I thought I would share MY summer fun chart for 2011. I have had really great intentions in the past and have ended up with a small list of fun things to do in my journal.

What are you doing this … [Read more...] about Summer Fun Chart-Kirsten Edition :)

We're kicking things off with some ideas to fill those dog days of summer from around the web! My kids get excited when I produce a Mickey-ish looking pancake, but look these awesome pancake creations on Jim's Pancakes! Half the fun of this hot air balloon is finding the perfect weighted toy!
