Your "Go-To" Resource for Grown-ups and Their Kids
July 18, 2012

Greetings!


Kim, girls, summer 2012 30 days (give or take) of summer left before Back To School! Where is the time going? We're only halfway through our summer "Bucket List" but the down time we have enjoyed has been wonderful! Despite the heat, summer has a cool vibe that's hard to replicate year-round.

We're preparing for our Back to School and Fall Family Fun resources so if something is on your mind for more info, please let us know! Our What's Happening Events Calendar is always hopping and our A-Z Index will always give you a chance to find a new resource. We just moved into a new house so I'm reviewing many of our Organizing 101 articles!

As always thanks for spreading the word. This is an exciting new statistic for Springfield Moms - 63% of the 14,400 visitors to our website last month were NEW visitors!


Enjoy these last few weeks of summer, and look for our "Back to School" e-Update on August 8th.

The ABCs of Summer
  Love this list from Sarah Chandler.  Sit down (in the air conditioning!) tonight with the family to come up with your own fun list.

Teens and Tanning  That sun-kissed summer glow comes at a high risk especially for those who tan intentionally.

Be Healthy - Eat Fresh!  This is the perfect time of year to shop the area Farmers Markets and stock up on fruits and veggies.
