We are on the brink of Summer Vacation – WaHoo!!! My goal is to savor summer and enjoy my family as much as possible. How are we going to accomplish this? I am not going to write up a long bucket list or fill our days with tiring expensive activities. Instead, we will apply this simple formula: Laugh, Play, Work, Study. A little of each every day will be a guarantee for a successful summer, don’t you think? What goals are you setting to insure a terrific summer?
And Now for Hearts for Home Blog Hop!
Last week’s most-viewed post was from Hopkin’s Homeschool where she tells us the Top 5 Blogs she’d like us to visit. A great list – I visit some of them myself from time to time.
My personal features from last week are posts that helped me set my goals for summer. I hope they encourage you as well:
- fun things for kids to do this summer at Gift of Curiosity
- fantastic idea for bulk cooking chicken – perfect for summer meals at The Sunny Patch
- loved this round up of freezer cooking meals too at Faith Filled Food for Moms
- ideas for my summer reading from Marissa at For Fun Reading List
- a wonderful list of ideas to help with Bible Memory at Transforming Children Into Spiritual Champions
- How about grilling some shrimp this summer? Great step-by-step in this post at Life Less Hurried
- Summer Date night ideas at Striving Striving to Follow Him

We are closing in on summer vacation too, Linda! (A little earlier than the past couple of years…woo hoo!)
I have a few things on my want-to-do list, but I am loving your simple list and I am taking inspiration! 🙂
