School is winding down for the year. Or ramping up, depending on whether your the kid or the mom. They are enjoying less homework and more fun stuff in class these last couple of weeks. I just finished organizing the school talent show and I'm scrambling around taking care of teacher gifts, facilitating a multitude of school projects, clearing some space in my schedule to be at end-of-the-year events, trying to get some work projects finished and off my calendar during my last few kid-free weekdays until September, counting down the number of school lunches left to make, and working on my "summer sanity plan". (Stay tuned...more on that soon!)

If the prospect of summer vacation quickly approaching has you panicking about how to keep the kids entertained for the next couple of months, you'll want to be sure to check out my Kidding Around class, which starts June 14. It's full of fun ideas and writing prompts with a fun, art journaling angle.
