Summer List for Kids

I was blog surfing the other day and came across this one.  The blogger is named Meg, and if she is even half the mom she appears to be on her blog... holy cow am I impressed.

I want to be this kind of mom.

These are the explanations she offers:

Treat Tuesdays = baking a dessert together that is yummy and fun and fancy
Write letters = once a week everyone writes letters to the same relative or friend 
but choosing a different one each week
Build robots = a craft from family fun
Get donuts at night = our donut shop opens @ 11:30 pm and is open all night until the next morning
                                       so staying up late and going for hot fresh donuts at night would be a treat.
Movie party = outside with a projector and 25 of our friends...like last year but even better.
Fancy ice cream = try other flavors in our homemade ice cream machine other than vanilla.

I love this idea!  Apparently so did Parenting magazine, b/c they're featuring it.

I am a goal-setter.  Most days I write down everything I want to get done (even if it's just "make the bed" or "get dressed"), because it's the only way I've found to stay motivated throughout the day.  I suspect this will be especially true after a few kids enter the mix.  So this idea is right up my alley. 

Don't you love it?  I love it.
