Messes and Noise

We hear it over and over: the two things that make moms lose it the fastest during the summer months are messes and noise. With a little bit of prep, maybe we can help you keep your "lose-it" moments to a bare minimum this summer.

Summer Journals

Did you keep a diary as a child? This can be a fun tradition! Provide photos, stickers, and drawing supplies so that your child can see this as a personal treasure, not a chore.

Winding down the school year . . . .

Summer and electronics

Our feelings about children with electronics are well-documented. In short: we think the two should mix very rarely.

Sure, electronics (in small doses) can save us time and energy, and they can help keep us scheduled and organized. In short--let the electronics serve your family, not the other way around.

There is more competition than ever for your child's time and attention . Let's choose wisely!

Have you ever used a summer "bridge" book? If you'd like recommendations, comment here, e-mail us, or visit our Facebook page to comment. Bridge books can be a valuable addition to your summer AND to your student's success in the coming school year.

We're happy to help!
