Summer Fun List Ideas

by leanneja on May 24, 2013 · 1 comment

in Calendars,Children,Family

School is out for some and will be getting out very soon for others. Have you decided how you’re going to spend those long Summer days and nights? What about making a Summer Fun List to keep track of all those ideas? We just wrote ideas in colored markers  on poster board the first few years and that worked really well, but there’s nothing wrong with kicking it up a notch.

Summer Banner 8

The kids loved the banner. We copied pictures of things we wanted to do during the Summer and clipped them on twine to make the banner.

Summer Banner 7

As we did each activity we would replace the example picture with a real picture of our family. You can check out more details about the banner here and here.

Summer Fun Banner 10

At the end of Summer we put them in a Summer Fun Memory Book.

Summer Fun Banner 15

Another year everyone in the family wrote down what they wanted to do that Summer and we made another fun display for our list. I cut out the letters and sunflowers using my Cricut then hung them on the door using double sided tape.

Summer Fun 2011 022

As we did each activity we would take the sunflower down and put up a picture of the activity. You can find out more about this Summer Fun List here.

Summer Fun 2011 025

I’ll have our Summer Fun List for this Summer up later this week. Do you make a Summer Fun List? Share it in the comments if you’d like.

May 20, 2013

During the month of April I posted a Spring Cleaning Series on my Facebook page. I shared one Spring cleaning chore each day through the whole month of April. Some were more detailed than others but the idea was to get your house spic and span before Summer. I had some requests for a 30 [...]

Transform a Bench with Spray Paint

May 16, 2013

As I’ve mentioned before and probably will a million more times, I Love Spray Paint. This is what the bench looked like before. I’ve had this bench for 19 years and I love it! It started out white, then I painted it brown about 7 years ago. I was ready for a change again, something [...]

Transform Outdoor Tables with Spray Paint

May 15, 2013

Spring always gets me in the mood to spray paint and by the looks of my front porch I need too. Can we say bland? How many shades of gray/brown can I have in one place? So over the next week or so I’m going to give my porch a color boost using very little [...]
