Hello everyone! I hope you all had a lovely week!

So a week ago today the kiddies left for camp and it has been just the hubs and I. Very strange being on an adult schedule again and not a kid schedule. We eat whenever, go out late, don’t need a sitter to run to the movies. It is the life! Though I do miss seeing the kids, especially since my older one ended up in the hospital on day 2 for a suspected broken wrist (turned out to be a sprain). So now she is in a huge sling, poor thing.  But she is in good spirits and both girls seem to be having a really good time.

I can’t believe we are already in July! This is shaping up to be a crazy month on Joyfully Jay with a ton of visitors! We have guest posters almost every day for a month, if you can believe it. So lots of interesting articles, fun visitors, and great giveaways.  I am super excited, it is always great to have company!

Just a reminder for those folks using Google Reader that it shuts its doors tomorrow. It seems like most other feed aggregators are pretty easily allowing you to move your old Google Readers feeds over, but just in case, a reminder that my feed is feed://joyfullyjay.com/feed. The Feedburner one will work too, but with Feedburner also sounding iffy for the long term, it may be best to use the standard blog feed.  If you have no idea what I am talking about, this probably doesn’t affect you, so don’t worry. But if anyone has questions just send me an email.

Ok, so we are starting the month off right with lots of good stuff.  Here is what we have planned:
