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.

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.

Their prices:

• Pick your own berries: $ 3.50/lb
• Pre-picked berries: $ 6/lb

 

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

It’s been a crazy season, but we are settling into some summer cleaning and I’m starting to prep for our next school year.  I think I’ll have to send the kids to Grandma’s for a day so I can get everything figured out.  We had a great Father’s Day with my husband.  He was working but was able to swing in for a bit and we enjoyed some of his favorite foods.  Here’s our menu for the week –

Monday: Steak, veggies, mashed potatoes

Tuesday: Burgers

Wednesday: Lentil Soup

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Beef Stew

Saturday: Poppyseed Chicken

Sunday: Dinner with cousins

We recently learned about a program called HOMER and my son has taken to it immediately!  Already in his first few minutes, he’s tracing the letter A and matching lower and uppercase letters.  This program is geared toward children ages 2-8 and as a homeschool mom, I’m very pleased with how it works!

This is his face after the app showed him how to write a letter T and he did it correctly.  The app cheered for him and he thought that was cool!

HOMER is a highly personalized subscription based early reading app. Research actually has shown that just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s early reading score by 74%!  Upon creating an account, it asked me to select my son’s likes so that it can make the program just for him!  Plus I can check and see how he’s progressing when I login.

HOMER is offering a FREE 30 day trial subscription to see if it is a fit for your family, but it sure is for my little guy!

Plushible.com is offering face masks for children and adults for only $2.50 SHIPPED each (normally $5) when you use code 250MASK at checkout!    These masks have such fun prints including unicorns!  They are dual layer and breathable and geared toward kids ages 7 and up.  Machine washable, too!
