Choose Your Own Adventure 2025

 

Over the past two summers, I have realized and accepted that summer blogging looks different with a teen and a tween! I only blog about things I have actually done with one or both of my kids, but I have kept a list of things I would like to do and so we have done a handful of things over the past few summers and I have written them up! Here is the list I am chipping away at that we have done a few things from in 2023 and 2024. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
