My family first me Aimee Carter with Delightful Sounds and Kindermusik about 10 years ago when we lived in Brandon. My first son Jack and I attended Kindermusik classes together and he and I still have great memories of her and her classes. I have watched her business grown and change over the years and thought I would share her new website and new classes. She is offering at her farm in Lithia agricultural, Florida history and survival type classes that sound super cool!
Check out the website links below for class descriptions and schedules and if you go, please tell Ms. Aimee that Christy Slaughter sent you!

100 things to do this summer!!
I saw this on another blog recently so my family and I decided we would come up with "100 Things to do this Summer" and try to check them all off the list. Some are very easy like board games or movie days and some are like field trips and exploring areas around us that we haven't been to recently or at all. I do love summer since we have more time for fun but sometimes it can be frustrating hearing "I'm bored" so this list should help us stay busy.
Did your family make a list? I would love to hear your ideas and get ideas that we didn't think about to add to our "to do" list.
