Hands On Workshops

Both Home Depot and Lowes have hands on kids building workshops pretty regularly.  Most of them are FREE and are geared towards ages 5-12.

Home Depot does their projects on the first Saturday of each month.  The next project is a football display stand project on Saturday, September 4th from 9-noon.

Lowes has Build & Grow Clinics where they do the project, get an apron, googles and patch…all for FREE!  Saturday, August 28th is a School Bus and Saturday, September 11th is a Pet Leash Hanger.

Have fun building!

Organization Calendars

With it almost being Back to School time (yea!), I'm trying to get myself organized. One of my favorite tools is the line of Mom's Plan It calendars. I just got my Mom's Plan It Engagement Planner today since it starts this month and goes thru December of 2011. I keep it on my island and everything goes in it! A great way to keep track of what the kids have going on!

I also ordered the Wall Calendar and the Pocket Planner (both not available yet). It's nice to have a place where everything goes....now if I could only teach my hubby to use them!

What are your favorite calendars/organizational strategies for back to school?

Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt

If you’re in Hingham today, head on over to the Derby Street Shoppes for the grand opening of Pinkberry frozen yogurt—a great summer alternative to ice cream!  It’s their very first store in Massachusetts!

I was hoping to attend since I’ve heard so many *yummy* things about their frozen yogurt but already have plans.  If you head over there, please let me know what you think!
