July is my favorite summer month. There's something about July that feels like candy to me. Maybe it's the memory of eating more sweets in the summer, or the sticky fruit stained hands I was always running around with (dirty, no doubt), but I feel like July has all the promise of a first kiss. At least it does when you're a kid. You have so many dreams about what you're going to do with this block of time that sort of feels like a massive blank canvas. I want my kids to experience the summer in many different ways.

It's always nice to hear that someone is living their dream, and that message came through loud and clear when I spoke with Jenny Buccos, Founder and Director of ProjectExplorer.org, a non-profit organization that brings travel, education and culture right into the classrooms and computers of those who want to explore and learn about other countries.
