As a teacher, I'm so excited that summer is near. There is so much going on at the end of the school year that it's hard to even think and plan for summer until summer actually starts. I always get excited to be a stay at home mom for a couple months of the year. Since my day-to-day life at work is very scheduled out, it has helped me to stick with a schedule in the summer. As much relaxing as I want to do, I also want to have quality time with Cece so I am going to try and stick with the following theme for each day:
- Make Something Monday
- Take a Trip Tuesday
- Wet and Wild Wednesday
- Thinking Thursday
- Fun Fresh Friday
Here are some ideas for things I plan to do on the themed days:
