This year summer is all about spending time together as a family.  We’ve been having a great time together road tripping, playing at the beach, and being together. I’ve found some great posts on saving money for vacation, keeping the kids occupied on a road trip, and other ways to spend time together as a family.  We also have some summer homeschooling, tips for summer wardrobes and style, and some cool treats to chase away the summer heat.

Plus, make sure you enter to WIN a Walt Disney World Vacation and see my easy recipe for a banana split!
