Super Fun Summer Challenge | Week 5

We are heading into the Super Fun Summer Challenge Week 5! Journey is having a blast and I hope your kids are too. Before I get into next week’s challenge, I’ll quickly recap week 3.

The challenge for week 3 was to write a play. Journey’s play was called “Story of the Stars.” It was about a little boy named JoJo that loves to watch the stars before bedtime. So his grandfather tells him a story about a star that falls to earth and needs help finding his way back to his family. She performed a song that she wrote called “You Can Change the Sky.”

Journey and her cast.

To create the costume, we cut out a star from a piece of poster board, sprayed it with adhesive and sprinkled it with glitter. She used her stuffed animals to play most of the parts. She even took the assignment one step further by creating a ticket and program.

My name is Simone, and I'm addicted to sharing! On this blog, I share recipes, shopping tips, relationship and parenting advice, a joke, an opinion and just about everything in between. In between sharing, I run an integrated marketing agency where my love of details and straight lines are put to good use. But my most important job is being a wife and mother to a teenaged daughter who still seems to like me—for now anyway.

This mushroom risotto looks fancy. It’s not. Just rice, broth, mushrooms and patience.

Save the recipe below for the next night you want cozy but not complicated.

* 8 oz white mushrooms, sliced
* 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced

24 hours in NYC.

Went to see Jill Scott perform songs from her new album and whew…

Her voice. The storytelling. The vibes.

They took our phones at the door and there was something so special about being fully present. Just listening and feeling the music.

Quick trip. Full heart.
