Join them at Town & Country on September 3 from 11am-1pm for their Community and Volunteer Firefighter recruitment event. There will be activities for children and adults, equipment displays, demonstrations, blood pressure checks and more! Little B LOVES fire trucks so I'm pretty sure that we will be here!

To show appreciation to all the active duty military families the Boonshoft is part of the Blue Star Museums program. The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, SunWatch Indian Village/Archaeological Park and Fort Ancient have joined more than 600 museums from across the nation in offering free admission to military families throughout the summer. The Blue Star Museums program is in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and participating museums, and is scheduled to run through Labor Day 2011. For more information about the Blue Star Museums program, including eligibility and the proper forms of ID required, please visit: http://www.arts.gov/national/bluestarmuseums/faq.htm

Free admission under the Blue Star Museums program applies to active duty military and up to five (5) immediate family members. So if you are looking for something to do between now and Labor Day.. this might just be the thing!

Thanks Family Fun Mom

Well, summer is quickly coming to an end for many of us. Did you get everything off your summer fun list checked off? If not here are a few ideas of a few things to do before it's time for Back-To-School

- There are a few Michaels Crafts: FREE Passport to Fun events still happening (check the calendar for dates and events)

- August 2,3 are the last days for Rave Theater: Free Family Film Festival (this is only at The Greene now)

- Have a water fight or play in the sprinkler

- Don't forget to turn in your Summer Reading Clubs time sheets and collect your prizes!

- Have a cookout and invite your friends. We really want to do a hot dog bar style cookout!

- Visit a few of the great Local Farmer’s Market

- Make sure you got your Good Grades= Good Deals for those report cards

- Join them at Dorothy Lane Market for Storytime and Tasting

- Start making Back To School freezer meals (Once A Month Mom has some great suggestions)

- On those days where it's sweltering outside there is still Kids Bowl Free All Summer available

- Go to a Dayton Dragons: McDonald’s Friends and Family Night

- Visit the park (several Kettering Parks recently were redone, and there will be more in the future) 

- Attend those last few Vacation Bible School before they are done

Thanks to Family Fun Mom for her inspiration!

This Thursday for Things I Love Thursday the thing I LOVE is Ultimate Mom's Night Out. Last Thursday, my fabulous co-host Kate and I got to spend a few hours with several local ladies for an evening of relaxing, fun, laughter and pampering. We think that mom's deserve a night out just having fun and we all enjoyed several hours at Villas at the Pointe Clubhouse doing just that. The evening started off with registration and all the lovely mama's that brought their nursing babies even got a Teething Bling bangle to model for the evening. There was all sorts of yummy food to munch including tasty The Submarine House sandwiches, delicious chocolate fondue strawberries and krispy treats from The Melting Pot and some cute Lulee's Lollies cakepops. 

But there was so much more than just food that night- we had giveaways GALORE!! Everyone received 20 tickets and could choose what giveaways they wanted to try to win. There was everything from Boogie Wipes to Underdoodles and COSI to Jenna Claire in our giveaways so that there was something for everyone to enter. I know that over half of all the moms there that night won a prize from one of our sponsors.

There was also a fun photo booth with pictures taken by Photography by Amy McSwegin, chair massages from At Peace Massage and Wellness, manicures by Beaute Box and Satin Hands treatments by Andrea from Mary Kay. Last but not least, everyone got to take home a swag bag literally stuffed full of swag!! Thanks to all our great giveaway, food and swag sponsors. We are so thankful to have such generous sponsors at Ultimate Mom's Night Out our evening could not have happened without them.
