For the Kids Friday #13

Today my children celebrated their last day of school.  Our routines will be changing, and my house will have absolutely NO CHANCE of being clean until school starts up again.  But you know what?  I am actually quite excited for these summer months with my kids.  And with SO many great ideas shared here, how could you not be??

And... I admit it.  I suck.  I really do.  With all of the struggle to keep the house in order, shuttle kids all over the place, do all the shopping, laundry, dishes, cooking, and so on... I feel fortunate that I'm able to manage this blog as well as I have.  However, I am HORRIBLE at keeping up with my comments.  I really do read each and every one.  I feel bad that my time does not allow for more.  When it comes down to it, my logic is that you would rather have the awesome ideas I have to share rather than a "Hey, thanks for the comment, I hope you stop by again!"... right?  Ok... so we're cool?  :)

Now... onto the fun stuff.  Check out these amazing ideas shared at last week's party!  All of these will be added to my A++ Features, found on the tab above.

For the Kids Friday #10

I was hanging out in China last week, minding my own business, when I discovered I could not access my blog!  Let me just say, I nearly had a meltdown right then and there.  We will be moving to China this summer, and the last thing I expected was to lose the ability to keep up with my blog.  So... I'm working on that one, as for me, that just isn't an option!  That is why you might have stopped by last week and found no new party to link up to.  Then, this week Blogger is doing maintenance work that kept me from posting at my usual time.  I'm so sorry about that!  So let's make up for it this week.  Link up this week's... AND last week's amazing ideas.

Of course... I have to share some of my favorites as well.  All of these awesome posts will be added to my A++ Features, found on the tab above.  Thanks to all of you who linked up to the last party!

For the Kids Friday #9

So.... I'm trying to pack for our first trip to China.  We are leaving in the middle of the night to drive for 12 hours to Gramma and Papa's house so the kids can spend time with them while we are exploring our soon-to-be home.  Instead of getting ready for this trip, we've spent this last week getting our house ready to put up for sale.  Needless to say, this week has been insanely busy!

Because of that, I haven't been the best host.  I didn't have a chance to check out each link from last week, and I feel bad about that.  I did go through and select my top picks for the week.  Thanks again for all of you who come to link up each week!  I just LOVE seeing what you all are doing, and it is a great place for inspiration!  You are all amazing!!!

Here are my picks for this week... Wow!  What awesome ideas!
