Summer Reading list for Moms

18 Books for your Summer reading list (and probably my Fall and Winter list too!)

 

by Liz Mangelsdorf

With prime time TV in re-runs for the summer… (of course there are all the great new shows on TNT, TBS and Lifetime, but that is what my DVR is for right?) I am making a pact with myself to read this summer!

I have always been an avid reader, sometimes reading 2 or 3 books at one time…well life, kids, crazy schedules and just being too gosh darn tired in the evenings to concentrate and read a book at night — I must admit regretfully that I  have yet to finish a book for pure pleasure in 2012!  I started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on a ski trip this past January and yup, I still haven’t finished it.  Enough is enough! I will make reading some good books this summer a priority. Who better to ask than mom friends for some of their picks (thanks to all those that responded) and I think we came up with a great summer reading list for moms. I can’t wait to get to the library this week and/or Half Price Books and stock up! *Happy Reading!

Learning to Swim Advice – Part One


Swimming Advice &  Safety for children and adults – Part One

 

by Mimi Conner

Summer is upon us and for many families that means pool time whether it is in your own backyard, at a community pool, a friend’s house or on vacation. Children need to learn to swim. All children must appreciate the water and know how to be safe in and around the water. This is not a luxury, this is a necessity.
