My stepdaughter will finally get to spend a long time with us this summer. She’s arriving tomorrow. I’m ready. I washed the sheets. I did the grocery (she’s low maintenance – feasts on bagels and captain crunch!). She turns into a gourmet at night though. So I’m looking forward to making better dinners…and going out with hubby and her as a family. We’re definitely going to the salon for maybe some manicure and pedicure, and a little hairstylin’.
The only thing that takes a lot from me is having those little fun parties and activities with her cousins. We really make it a point to gather them when she’s around. That way, they can make a lot of great growing up memories together, and hopefully so they can grow old close. So even if I’m tired (and broke), it’s all worth it. It’s a chance for me to go places too! My inner child is hungry for experience…adventure…and play!
This summer, we hope to visit these places:
among other things….got any more suggestions? Be kind to THE wallet!
