This summer, the kids and I have been doing a lot more reading that normal. We were recently sent this brand new book, The Amelia Six by Kristin L. Gray to check out. This book will be released tomorrow, on 6/30. I’ve been using this one as a read-aloud with my soon-to-be 4th and 5th grade daughters. I don’t know who is more excited about it, me or them! Every evening the girls are begging for multiple chapters so we can get further into the book. I think it’s going to be a great one!
Eleven-year-old Amelia Ashford—Millie to her friends (if she had any, that is)—doesn’t realize just how much adventure awaits her when she’s given the opportunity of a lifetime: to spend the night in Amelia Earhart’s childhood home with five other girls. Make that five strangers. But Millie’s mom is a pilot like the famous Amelia, and Millie would love to have something to write to her about…if only she had her address.
Once at Amelia’s house in Atchison, Kansas, Millie stumbles upon a display of Amelia’s famous flight goggles. She can’t believe her good luck, since they’re about to be relocated to a fancy museum in Washington, DC. But her luck changes quickly when the goggles disappear, and Millie was the last to see them. Soon, fingers are pointing in all directions, and someone falls strangely ill. Suddenly, a fun night of scavenger hunts and sweets takes a nosedive and the girls aren’t sure who to trust. With a blizzard raging outside and a house full of suspects, the girls have no choice but to band together. It’s up to the Amelia Six to find the culprit and return the goggles to their rightful place. Or the next body to collapse could be one of theirs.
To purchase this book, head on over to Amazon or your favorite bookstore. You’ll be so glad you did!
I was recently asked to check out the products made by Hoorag.com. Hoorag offers tubular face bandanas, which of course have become really popular right now. The company has been around for about 10 years now and has some really fun prints in both children and adult sizes.
Hoorag also offers Thin Blue Line options, which is what I got for my husband. He’s taken off with it and all the guys at his work are wanting to order them now, too. There are plenty of options ready to ship. The Hoorags are very breathable material and when not in use can be decorative around your neck. Head on over to Hoorag.com and see what they offer.

Holy cow – where did this year go? I cannot believe we are already about to start July! This week is likely to be another slow week for us. Not sure what we will do yet since there isn’t too much we can do. I’m sure we will probably go blueberry picking again at some point. Maybe some nice hikes, if the weather cooperates. I hope everyone has a safe and healthy Fourth of July week!

These popular Pilot Friction Erasable Gel Pens are currently down to only $5!!! I have a set and I love using them for my planner. They came in handy when everything was cancelled. I could just erase the events and no scribbling or white out needed!
Wow! What a beautiful print!!! Right now Walmart.com has this awesome 6 Quart Pioneer Woman Instant Pot for only $49, down from $99! That’s a great price! I’m kinda jealous since mine is just the normal silver one.
The kids and I have been trying to find some outdoor things to do that are both fun and socially distanced from large groups. A friend of ours wanted to check out the DGD Farm and we met them out there to do some blueberry picking.
Damn Good Dawg Farms (DGD Farms) is a family run, pick-your-own blueberry farm on 24 acres in the heart of Watkinsville, GA. They have 2,600 rabbit-eye blueberry bushes of three different varieties.
My youngest enjoyed picking berries, but he loved eating them more!
Our experience was great! Everyone was super friendly and we were able to distance from others easily. Plenty of blueberries for all and they were quite delicious. I liked that we could try the berries to see which ones we liked and then were able to pick from those rows. Took us less than 45 minutes to get 5 lbs! It could have been shorter, but we were socializing while we were picking.

*Not a sponsored post – just wanted to share this great farm with others looking for something fun to do.
