Hmmm...what's going on in the month of June? Well, on June 14th we have Flag Day. I'm sharing a cute red, white and blue craft called Stars and Stripes. On June 16th, we're celebrating Father's Day. Dad gets the award. Make a trophy out of to-go coffee cups as the kids' gift to dad. Plus, I share a summer recipe that requires no cooking and a good tip for when taking the children outside.

Flag Day: Stars and Stripes

Flag Day is June 14th. This Stars and Stripes project represents our pride of the American Flag.

Father's Day Trophy

The second celebration for June comes on the 16th. It's Father's Day! I always find it much easier to come up with something to make for mom. It's a bit harder for dad. These trophies made out of to-go coffee cups turned out perfect!

Recipe: Ham & Cheese Kabobs

When the weather gets hot, I don't like to turn the oven on to make lunch. Once the kitchen heats up, it just doesn't cool down again. Ham and Cheese Kabobs are a fun, good tasting lunch option that requires no cooking.

Grab 'n Go Outdoor Bag

A Grab and Go Outdoor Bag is packed up with everything you may need for supplies when you and the kids are outside.

I've been a daycare provider for 19 years now. I knew enough to have a bag packed up if I was leaving the house with the kids, but never thought to have one ready to take to the back yard each day when the kids go outside to play. It's a great idea!
