I'm Bored Mom...


I am sure my kids will not say this phrase once this summer...ha!
So in preparation...we have brainstormed a list of 100 things we can choose from when we are bored...instead of another game of Minecraft. (I have traded my boys minute for minute of summer learning time for screen time...Day 1 a success so far...we will see how long this lasts.) 

Hopefully I actually get this list printed and cut into strips for a jar of anti-boredom activities!

Help - we are brain dead and need like four more items to complete our list...

Mom of two little ones being a the slightest bit sick is no fun at all. So I threw together the "kick the bug" juice. I just so happend to have all the ingredients on hand.
