Days to Summer Candy Countdown

May 19, 2018May 16, 2018

We’ve been doing our “days to summer” candy countdown the past couple of weeks and are down to just a few measly pieces!

Every year towards the end of the school year I start packing a snack bag with one piece of candy for every day left in the school year. Since John is buying his lunch this year I just leave his on the counter to have with breakfast. (Yes, candy for breakfast.)

We use m&m’s but any small candy would work – skittles, gummy bears, etc. Sweet summer will be here before we know it!

PS. Who’s watching the royal wedding?!
