Hi Everyone,
Where oh where has the summer gone? I cannot believe how quickly July is flying by. We need to hit the brakes on summer because I am not ready for school to start again! After we got back from vacation, we hit the ground running and haven't stopped. I really thought since our vacation was early in the summer that we would feel like there was plenty of summer left to have when we got back. I don't feel that way at all now! I need to figure out the balance of handling responsibilities and making time to still relax. I do not want to feel burnt out from summer when school starts! Send any ideas my way!
BUT speaking of school, Macaroni KID Columbia is teaming up with Macaroni KID Laurel for another Back to School Giveaway this year. We are looking for local businesses interested in sponsoring our giveaway. If you are a local business owner and are interested in learning more, please email me at michellesemanoff@macaronikid.com.
Ok, so back to summer mode. Are you all signed up for a Summer Reading Program? Did you sign your kids up? I am working through one this summer and can say that I have read more this summer than I have in recent summers. I'm excited that I have been swapping out screen time for some extra reading. That is one way I have been able to relax this summer and I plan to keep it up. I got a few beach reads out for my vacation and they were great! If you have a trip coming up and like to read, I suggest finding books where the setting is the area you are travelling to. It makes it even more fun! My beach reads were set in towns we were vacationing in and it was fun to be in the area while reading them.
Enjoy the weekend! Don't let it fly by to fast.
Michelle
