Greetings!  

 

Laura and baby chickExcitement is building for summer as the last couple of weeks of school play out. Chicks are hatching; parties are being planned; summer activities are just around the corner.

We are gearing up, too, with information that you will find practical and fun -- all summer long.

The Springfield Sliders are headed back to town, and we have a great coupon for their games.

And if you are still in the mood to save money (always!), check out Lindsey Lanter's article "Go Green to Save Green $$" below.  
Our next E-Update will hit your inbox on Wednesday, June 8th. As always, feel free to forward this to friends and family. We love "mom to mom" referrals!
