Hey mommas! Looking for fun/cool summer activities for your kids? See what your local Pottery Barn Kids has going on! We will be participating in their Summer Reading Challenge (cool temp wise and learning wise). What do you need to do to get started? Select 8 of the 10 titles listed below and head in the nearest PBK to purchase those books you want to read. They provide you with a checklist and will check off the books as you purchase (& read them) at the end of the challenge you get a FREE book! Hello prize for reading! Isn’t the reading part a prize on it’s own?! Hehe! Anyway the challenge is going on from May 15th to July 16th so hurry and get going now!
