When I decided to host the ice cream social for Brielle’s last day of school, I was happy to play around the create some new ice cream themed art for the occasion. I used a mint, pale pink, white and brown color palette for the invite, as the base for the dessert table decorations, and the favor tag of the toys they played with. Since I already had the art created, I reworked some parts and put together this “I scream for summer” design to make t-shirts for the girls!

Summer Bucket List Printable
This will be the first summer that both my girls are home with me and not at school or daycare. A whole 7 weeks of entertainment is needed (plus we’ll be on a beach vacation for one week). To get ready for this big adventure ahead of me, I created this Summer Bucket List printable and made it available to my fellow parents looking for some ideas. This list includes activities that I believe I can handle with the girls on my own as we’ll still have plenty of activities to do as a family. Download this freebie then read below for expanded ideas from this bulleted list. In addition, on the first day of summer break I plan to surprise the girls with this magnetic calendar so we can start each morning discussing the date, season and weather, an activity Brielle already does at Kindergarten and Hailey will be doing in preschool this fall.
