Don't Let Summer Stress You Out!

Hi Mom,

Summer is a great time to spend some extra quality time with the family since the kids are home from school. But by now you may have heard "I'm bored", "I need a snack", "What's for dinner" and "I'm still bored" more than enough and you're actually starting to look forward to school starting in a few weeks.

Don't feel bad, we feel exactly the same way. That's why we've put a little care package together for all us stressed out moms, to help us make it through the end of summer break.

I'm Bored Mom Solution:

Let's start by giving these kids something to do.  Here are some great ideas for things your kids can do with you or on their own.

I'm Hungry Solution:

If I had a penny for every time I've heard "I'm hungry", "What's for dinner", or "I need a snack" this summer, I'd be a rich woman by now. Of course those statements are usually followed by me doing some sort of meal preparation and cooking. Well, enough is enough and I've enlisted the help of hubby and the kids for the rest of the summer. Ready to do the same? Here are some easy recipes for hubby, the kids and moms to fix along with my recommendations for kid-friendly restaurants for those days when no one feels like cooking.
