DIY Picture Scavenger Hunt
Another thing crossed off my Summer Bucket List. Good thing too because Summer is quickly coming to an end although I’m sure the hot temps will stick around for a while.

The first step was to purge and organize so that everything had a distinct home. Once all the toys were separated by bins, I took pictures of what was inside of each one. Pictures…
