Psalms 118:24 NIV “This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Yay. Summertime is here!!!

Our prayer is that you have a safe summer full of happiness and priceless memories! Take time as a family to relax, get outside, and enjoy this beautiful world that God created.

This month: Please look at all of the options our advertisers have to offer for summer birthday parties and entertainment. North Alabama is filled with countless opportunities to enjoy summertime together as a family. After vacations take time to frequent local businesses near home and don’t forget to tell them that Kids Directory sent you. :) Happy Fathers Day to all of the Dads in North Alabama!

Dads, check our Facebook page for some awesome Fathers Day giveaways!

Coming next month: In our July Issue we will highlight healthy kids, special needs, and pre-back to school.
