This digital PDF document includes clickable links for most projects with directions/supplies needed for easy planning.

Review:  The calendar's design is very beautiful.  I printed out a copy and had no problem displaying it because it was so attractive.  Printing it out allowed my family and I to browse through it for ideas and when we found something we wanted to try, we went onto my saved version on the computer and clicked on the link to learn more or find the instructions to the activity.   There was a nice variety of activities to choose from including cooking (a favorite in our house), crafts, games, and more.  In addition to daily activities, there are some nice guides that you can fill in and lists of suggested activities to help you keep organized and active throughout the summer.  There was also a nice meal planner which my kids enjoyed since they have been helping out in the kitchen lately.

The audio workshop was a nice reminder that it is important to balance activities with rest and relaxation. While it is important for your children to keep entertained and busy, it is also important that they have time to decompress. I thought the tips on the audio were great and certainly fit my family's needs. Overall, I would say that this is a really nice planner for a mom with young kids and you would have a lot to gain my giving it a try!
