Summer Family Activity Jar

Along with my "Boredom Jar", I decided to come up with a "Summer Family Activity Jar". This jar is going to be filled with slips of paper that have activities we can do as a family this summer.

Here are some ideas I have come up with so far:

• Bake a sweet treat
• Rent a movie or game
• Weed the garden
• Star Gazing Night
• Make homemade Popsicles
• Catch fireflies
• Make a healthy smoothie
• Walk to local ice cream shop for a cool treat
• Have a picnic
• Go for a walk
• Bike ride
• Design a family flag
• Write a menu for tomorrow's dinner
• Visit Farmer's Market
• Explore local park trails
• Try a local restaurant
• Visit the library
• Boce ball
• Plan a play date with friends
• Go for a treasure walk
• Pick up trash in neighborhood
• Movie and popcorn night
• Campfire night
• SMORES
• Sleep on three seasons porch
• Make fresh lemonade
• Visit a new park
• Go rock hunting - search for unusual rocks
• Splash pad

This is all I have right now. I will keep thinking and writing down activities for the summer. I would love to hear what your favorite family activities are!!

Creative and Cute Valentine's Gift!

This would make a perfect Valentine's gift for anyone (grandparents, teachers, moms and dads, aunts and uncles, etc). I took pictures of siblings when they were giving each other a kiss and in the other picture, they were hugging each other. I put the pictures on the inside walls of a glass jar so you could see each picture. Then, I filled the jar with Hershey's Hugs and Kisses. On the top of the jar, I made a tag that said, "Kisses and Hugs to You!" So Cute!!!
