Where has June gone?

So I confess, we've not done much so far this summer. (I'm blaming it on the continual rain storms, I've begun thinking we live in a rainforest.) Hopefully those have about passed us by now. We have been busy with a few things I guess. June is a busy month for our family with birthdays and this month Hollie and I both had birthdays. Hollie's consisted of a double decker party- friend party by morning, family party by night. And we did attend our annual Kunz Family Reunion. The kids always seem to really enjoy those and I had a good time catching up with my girly cousins.

One thing I've got to do better with from here on out is making certain that Hollie is getting some reading in. Taylor naturally loves to read, so I've never had to prompt him. But Hollie I have to beg and plead for her to pick up a book. The Family Fun Center here in Brigham is doing a summer reading program. If they read 20 minutes/20 days out of the month they can go bowl a game for free. That's like a 2 for 1 special for me!! :) Reading time and entertainment as the end result. What are your tips for getting in the reading time? I'm as much to blame because we don't have any sort of a schedule for summer and so before I know it, it's bedtime again and no reading has been done.

My cousin Sunshine came over to my house and Lindsay's house and gave us a ton of ideas for decorating and miscellaneous projects we could do. She has a natural knack for those sorts of things and I had a great time with her here! In an upcoming post I'm going to list some of the major things that stood out with each room that she suggested.

Little by little I'm getting some things accomplished in our home. I have a lot of things I want to do, but I get extremely overwhelmed because there are so many that I don't know where I want to start. :) Anyone who knows me well, knows this is an everyday occurrence.

Thanks so much to those of you who humor me and actually read my craziness. Bravo to you!!
