I will also be having a Back-To-School Week that will run from July 28 - August 3!! The Blogger opps for those Giveaways will be posted soon.

To start things off - We will be holding a Giveaway for SANDGONE that will go live on July 15 and run through July 27! All of the Summer Event Giveaways will end on July 27th, which is the day before Back-To-School Week!

Next Week is Summer Week

July is the month where Summer goes full force as well as the month where the “School - Summer” ends…

What a sad time for kids… Being made to go back to that big building that helps molds them into the grown-ups that they so wish to be…. They’ll soon learn that being a kid is much better than the grown-up life, it’s a something we all sadly realize once all those adult responsibilities like that ugly word that noone likes…. Bills!

I honor of the Summer, I’ve decided to have next week (July 14-July 20) be “Summer Week” at My Kind Of Introduction! I have a great Summer Must-Have’s list for you as well has a look back at a few of my favorite Summer Products that were available in 2013. I hope to see you next week when we celebrate everything Summer!!!

We will also be holding a Back-to-School Week during July 28 through August 3! Make sure you catch all the fun!

Family Night at Enka Middle School

Tonight we are going to the local middle school, Enka Middle, for a Family Night Event with our daughters. My kids are in Elementary school but everyone is invited and I believe we will have alot of fun!

At the event, we was told that there is going to Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Face Painting, other kids activities along with Businesses who are there to let us know what they can offer our family this summer! It sounds so exciting and fun!

My family don't get out often so knowing that the schools are giving local families a FREE Event to attend with the kids is simply wonderful!

That's why I love my hometown. Asheville and Candler are awesome places to live

Better go get dresses! The Family Night Event runs from 6pm - 7:30pm!!!

If your local then

BRING YOUR KIDS AND LETS HAVE SOME FUN!!
