Ok, school’s out. So now what do you do with the kids??? As a mother of 3 boys, summer time can be a little challenging, if I’m not armed with activities to keep them busy. Here’s a list of kid-friendly things going in in and around Peoria this summer:

Arizona Science Center Kids Camps: http://www.azscience.org/exhibits_activities/camps

Peeps Aplenty: 20 Unconventional Things to Make With Peeps, courtesy of Kim & Jason on their Escape Adulthood blog…love it!!!

Peeps are my absolute favorite Easter treat! And one sure sign of spring is when Peeps start hitting the shelves in the candy aisle of the local grocery store. They become a popular staple this time of year, probably because they are a bright, cheery, reminder that the season has once again changed. Peeps are sweet, that’s for sure. Most people eat only one or two each season before discarding the rest of the package. Well, waste no more! We have found the perfect way to utilize your precious Peeps. By the way, go beyond just reading the Peeps article and check out the entire blog! It’s a “Community of rebels rallying against Adulteries to live with less stress and more fun.” We could ALL use less stress and more fun! I hope I have offered you some assistance with your Peep problem while bringing a little bit of fun to your day.
