Last Day of 3rd, 6th, and 8th Grades

We finished up our school year this past Wednesday. Growing up in New Jersey, I always had school until the end of June, so I know some of you still have school, but for us, we actually got out a little later than normal this year. The public schools all finished before us! However, I also noticed they go back to school earlier than us in August, so I guess our schedule is a bit off from theirs right now. Anyway, the kids were very excited to finish up their school years!

What I’ve Been Reading #198 – The Overdue Life of Amy Byler

How cute is the cover of this book? I know you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but in this case, the book was just as cute! I really enjoyed this story of a mom raising teens who gets the opportunity to take time off of her mom job and travel to New York City for the summer.

Favorite Small Museums in Kansas City

With summer break coming up and lots of adventures to embark upon, I thought I would share my top picks for museums to visit in Kansas City. These museums are great for locals and visitors alike! As you know, we love to visit museums of all types, and we have visited a lot of them in our area. These are some of our favorites.

My Fashom Style Box Experience

Styling and fashion boxes can be a lot of fun, and when I heard about the Fashom Style Box service, I decided it would be fun to try it. I was excited that Fashom offers budget friendly clothing and that you get to choose the five items you will receive before they are sent to you.
