Independence Day is behind us, but there are plenty of other fun holidays to celebrate during the month of July, starting with "Teddy Bear Picnic Day," which is tomorrow. So I've invited several of my younger grandkids over in the morning to read some teddy bear books and eat some teddy bear toast and make some teddy bear crafts and sing some teddy bear songs together. Doesn't that sound fun? I'd intended to do a lot more of that sort of thing over summer break, but when I suddenly realized it's already July and I still haven't made it happen, I grabbed my calendar, consulted my daughters-in-law, and penciled a couple of dates on the calendar. Do you have any projects, dreams, or special plans that'll need a little more attention before they can become a reality? There's no time like the present to get started! Set a date and do what you can. Even if things don't turn out exactly as you imagined, you'll be worlds ahead in the memory-making department if you give it a go, no matter how imperfect the outcome. Free resources for you this week:
