Summer Checklist Update... and a fun idea for capturing summer smiles

Summer is flying by, and the boys and I are still working on completing all the items on our Summer Checklist.  With two weeks to go before school starts, we have completed 35 of the 50 items on our list.  Yesterday we completed #36 -- have a dance party in the living room -- and let me tell you... my boys have some serious dance moves!

My boys make me smile all the time, and as a KINDERMom, I am excited to share KINDER's fantastic new app with you.  #KinderSmiles is a fun and interactive way for parents to capture and share moments of joy in a playful way.  Once you're a KINDER® fan, it's just a few simple steps:

Step 1: Like KINDER® on Facebook

Step 2: Start your photo-strip

Step 3: Upload your photos

Step 4: Choose a fancy KINDER® frame

Step 5: Choose a filter

Step 6: Save & share

It's an easy way to capture summer memories.  My strip includes pictures of my boys hosting a lemonade stand for charity, my boys at my 5 year old's pirate party, and my boys at my 7 year old's spy party.  So many #KinderSmiles, and so much summer fun!

What has been the highlight of your summer so far?  Do you have any "must do" items left on your summer bucket list?

Have an "Egg"cellent Summer {free printable tags}

It's that time of year again -- school is ending and summer vacation is just around the corner.  My boys enjoy bringing little gifts to share with their classmates on the last day of school, and today I am sharing an idea for a fun treat little ones will love (and I have designed free printable tag for you to download).

Cute, right?  My boys love Kinder Eggs.  What's not to love about a chocolate treat and a toy surprise?

If you want to make these treats for your child's classmates (or just for your little ones as a special "last day of school" surprise), just right click on the 4X6 picture below, save it to your computer, and print it like a normal photo.

We are really getting excited for summer around here, and we have already started to work our way through our Summer Checklist.  We are especially looking forward to our road trips to Halifax and PEI.  Maybe I'll pop a few Kinder Eggs into my purse to keep the boys happy in the van.

What are you most looking forward to this summer?  I'd love to hear about the summer adventure you have planned with your family.
