Adventure Is Out There!

Our lake days have always been some of my most favorite days of the summer; however, this summer they mean a little more. Boating days are a chance to spend quality time together as a family while getting outside and exploring all that the beautiful Lake Murray has to offer! A few weeks ago I shared how we use our SwimWays Kickboards at the beach, and now we’re bringing them out on the lake with us, too! Noah also has a new favorite SwimWays accessory…

This summer may look a little different than summers past, but that doesn’t mean the summer fun has to stop!

Art Class at Home: Painted Flower Pots
Happy Spring, y’all! I’m not sure what the weather is like near you, but I hope the sun is shining and that temps are beginning to warm up. Wherever you may live, I think we can all agree that it’s time to officially say goodbye to winter and hello to a brand new season! It was announced yesterday that schools here in South Carolina are now closed through April 30th. While Noah’s school has been wonderful in providing him with many great distance learning resources, I’ve been brainstorming other ways to keep the kids occupied during our days at home. One of the ways we’ve been keeping busy is through…
