1. Find a New Home for the Camera
Up first is an all-summer-long challenge for myself, actually I guess it's an all-year-long challenge - to get my camera out of my camera bag and find a spot for it where it is easily accessible. I want to try to be more intentional about capturing our fun, every day moments around the house and not just the moments where they're all dressed up in coordinating outfits and being forced to sit pretty and smile :)
2. 30 Day Drawing Challenge
Both of my big kids love to draw, so we are going to get some sketch books for each of them and some brand new crayons and colored pencils and give this a try!
3. Cards & Notes
This challenge is a little bit more for me, but my kids have a few cards and notes they've received so we might start it for them too. I love this idea, it's so smart and so easy! Just get a hole puncher and some string or metal rings and now you can keep all your cards and notes that are special to you in one place. Also, write the date on them and any special things you want to remember about the person who gave it to you or what occasion it was given to you on.
4. ABC Bible Verses
If you head over to this website you can find a free printable with verses for each letter of the alphabet. Then just print them off and put them together in a little book and you have a really easy way to teach your kids some verses.
5. Summer Ideas in General
I printed this off last summer and hung it on our fridge. It was perfect to have for one of those I-have-no-idea-what-to-do-today-and-the-kids-don't-feel-like-just-sitting-around-in-their-jammies kind of days :)
Awesome...I was just going to text you today and say lets get our lists together!! Are you starting Monday? Mine are a little different. But I love the drawing one. Also the camera one for you! We have a boring kitchen drawer where all the electronics go...and they are usually there :-)
