I know I heard a collective groan from my local friends when we all woke up today... so much for the beach/park/playground/hikes we had planned. Here's how we I stayed sane this (latest) rainy summer day...
A morning "tea party". (We ate the treats before I got a photo. Sorry. You'll have to go get your own, or use your imagination.) Then a trip to the library to stock up for the week.
A towel picnic.
And, a scavenger hunt. I learned my lesson last time. This list had 30 items that are way more creative (and time-consuming). And, while they excitedly hunted, I curled up with some tea and relished my new book, Every Bite is Divine.
How do you fellow moms
thought some of my mom friends might like this indoor scavenger hunt list to simply cut and paste...
