June contest results
Last month we asked about your summer
plans, and we loved the responses! A lot
of folks are heading to the pool and hardly
anyone is taking advantage of the heat to
buy jackets at half off (winter is coming,
people, might as well strap in for the ride).
Some, like Tiffany Taylor-Blake, have big
plans:
“Plans for the summer never go as planned
for adults. We plan vacations then work or
finances cancel them out. i've planned to
take my kids to Gatlinburg in July. But since
my work schedule changes very regular, I'll
be doing mini low cost getaways or outings
each week in my off days. We will start off my
going swimming at Cheaha or the community center, maybe bike riding on the Ladiaga
Trail, and catch a couple of kid flicks at the
movies during the week. All while looking
forward to the trip in July and pray nothing
INSIGHT
gets in the way of it. Being an adult is hard
and especially explaining to the kids why you
have to cancel a vacation due to work or finances. But while in Gatlinburg I will be a big
kid along with my kids. Excited for the summer and we can't wait.”
Others, like this month’s winner, Melissa
Marsh, are taking the educational approach:
“This summer, I will shuttle my kids to summer
workouts, swim lessons, play dates, museums,
nature trails, and VBS. I will attend several
professional development conferences and
classes as well as Space Camp for Alabama
Educators.”
We’re impressed with your self-improvement plans for yourself and the kids, Melissa! Keep an eye on your inbox for instructions to claim your movie passes.
Thanks to everyone who entered, and we’ll
see you again next month! ✻
