Having a Family Filled Summer on Family Fun Friday

This year summer is all about spending time together as a family.  We’ve been having a great time together road tripping, playing at the beach, and being together. I’ve found some great posts on saving money for vacation, keeping the kids occupied on a road trip, and other ways to spend time together as a family.  We also have some summer homeschooling, tips for summer wardrobes and style, and some cool treats to chase away the summer heat.

Plus, make sure you enter to WIN a Walt Disney World Vacation and see my easy recipe for a banana split!

Every week at HappyandBlessedHome.com we share the talents and top posts from our blogging friends all around the web with HappyandBlessedHome.com readers via: Family Fun Friday. The Family Fun Friday Team reviews 100+ link-ups to select the top features in the following categories: Encouraging Posts for Moms, Recipes, Family Fun, Crafts and Homeschooling. Every week is different and is tailored to the trends that are current to help moms save time and energy so they can have more freedom to do what they love best – enjoy family fun!

 

PLUS, we’re looking for some new Family Fun Friday co-hosts and a Family Fun Friday Virtual Assistant. If you are at all interested, please apply: http://bit.ly/Apply2Host.
