When I think of July, I remember picking blackberries with my parents, chasing fireflies in the backyard, cranking an old-fashioned wooden ice cream maker (the ice cream was OH, SO GOOD!), enjoying fireworks displays, and, just a few short years ago, marching in the 4th of July parade with my son’s Cub Scout pack.

Summer is a great time to create memories and celebrate family traditions. We hope you LOVE every minute of it, and be safe!

Good news here at your Kids Directory! We are expanding our reach into Polk, Dallas and Laclede Counties.

Look for us a local libraries, restaurants, medical offices, and retailers! ~Melinda, parent/publisher/owner

Keep all medications in their original packages and containers.
