Spa Day

For Mother's Day, the kids gave me a gift certificate for a spa day. It was wonderful. I had a massage, then a facial, manicure, pedicure, and then had my hair done. I took myself out to eat afterwards and had one of the most relaxing days of my life. I would recommend a pampering day for any mom. Even if it is just having your hands and feet done. That alone would have been a wonderful treat. So if any husbands need gift ideas, a spa certificate is the thing. Mom's are able to take better care of their kids when they have been taken care of also.

Summer Time

Summer has began. We know that because the camps have begun. Volleyball camp is this week, VBS and Middle School Mania next week, and then the sleepover camps. Everyone always comments about the slower pace of summer, yet summer is busier for us than the school year. It seems to be one commitment after another. During the school year, I say no to so many things, because school is the priority. But during the summer, activities are the norm.

School Days School Days, dear old golden rule days.

Reading and Writing and Arithmetic. Yet also, English and Bible and History and Science and Spelling and Art and Music and PE.
