Summer Contest

With my son finishing school next week I’ve begun to think about summer. Even though we have a lot going on between vacation, moving, and our church’s Summer Celebration camp for kids, I also have goals I want to accomplish and memories I want to make. I’ve found it’s good to have a plan to seize all the opportunities summer has to offer and to help things run more smoothly.

So, I thought I’d run a contest (Yes, Janelle, other authors of this blog can do contests too!). You send me your great summer ideas, and we’ll post our favorites along with a prize for the one we like best in each category. Here’s what we’d like to know: what are your great ideas for….

-Summer activities
-Summer projects
-Summer schedules
-Summer vacations
-Summer traveling with kids
-Summer goals
-Summer meals
-Keeping summer simple

I’m not just looking for ideas from moms here; teens and singles, we’d like to hear from you too.

What do you get out of it, you ask? Well, the winner in each category can choose from one of five great books:

Do Hard Things by Brett and Alex Harris
The Christian Mom's Idea Book by Ellen Banks Elwell
The Christian Grandma's Idea Book by Ellen Banks Elwell
Praying the Lord's Prayer by JI Packer
Hero of Heroes: Seeing Christ in the Beatitudes by Iain Duguid (I'm currently reading this one and it’s terrific!)

Email us your ideas by next Friday June 6 (just in time for my summer to start!) and we’ll post them the following week. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
