Events and Things To Do in June – Bring The Kids!
At the start of each month I like to sit down and fill my Sundays with stuff to do with the family. If I don’t put it in our calendar, we don’t actually do it. I’ve said this time and time again, but honestly! As nerdy as it sounds, if I don’t schedule it in our calendar, we won’t make the time to spend it together. Kinda sad but it’s the truth!! Lol. Anyone with me on that?? Leave me a comment!
Here are some events I’ve found and will most likely be at this month…
