#LoveLearning this summer with Lands' End!
Parental friends! I am so excited to be partnering with Lands' End on a special summer initiative regarding our littles...because let's face it, we all want to keep them entertained but we often forget that fun doesn't mean a three-ring circus daily. Sometimes it's about revisiting the basics. By basics I am referring to keeping learning fun and ensuring that they stay fresh as a new school year approaches. Hard to even wrap our heads around, right?
August will be here before we know it! I fully support Lands' End initiative to keep learning fun and interesting. And let's face it...we all need a down day. Take a peek at some of their summer campaigns and get involved! I promise these activities are anything but stuffy. Think interactive but more importantly, savor it as the quality time we are all craving and an opportunity to disconnect! Ahhhh....there's that word again!
What is #LoveLearning and How Can We Participate:
National Summer Learning Day is July 13th and Lands’ End together with Steve Spangler Science and Brightly, a website from Penguin Random House, is kicking off the #LoveLearning campaign – making sure education doesn’t take a vacation this summer. Parents and kids can log on to Landsend.com/LoveLearning weekly from now through August 31, 2017, to discover do-it-yourself science experiments, book recommendations, an art contest and an exclusive, limited edition science tee.
Parents can submit their child’s art at landsend.com/lovelearning. The contest is divided into age groups: 4-6, 7-10, 11-14 and 15-18. All first, second, third and grand prize finishers will receive a free Lands’ End backpack, lunch box and t-shirt personalized with their original artwork.

Which initiative will you try with your nuggets?
You have officially entered Gemini season. We’re a passionate group of individuals and it just so happens that one of my nearest and dearest friends was born the day before me. <I’m the older sister but I digress> And if there is one thing that Geminis embrace, it is change. We get bored very quickly which is a testament to the amazing men we married because they keep us loved and entertained beyond measure!
