Happiness is Homemade is Bustin Out all Over

Summertime and the livin is easy... said no stay at home parent ever.

Summer break has officially begun for us. I made this planner for my son which is available as a printable over on my store or as a print on demand book on Amazon. He is a calendar fiend so he immediately started filling it out and planning stuff for him and Dad to do on the weekends. We will be getting around to what he and Mom are going to do during the weekdays soon.

Now on to Carol for this week's party.

We are now into the second week of June and as the saying goes, "it's bustin out all over". The flowers are really bursting with blooms and the flower beds and planters are filling in. We are enjoying our updated backyard before it gets too unbearably hot. Hope you are getting settled into summer, too.

I hope those of you who received last week's features enjoyed them. This week I looked for summer ideas to share. If you have Father's Day posts, bring them on. Let's all enjoy these lazy, hazy days of summer.
