This is our first week out of school. Some years I take a few weeks to just do “whatever” during the day—and that tends to backfire on me. This year, I have tackled the summer head-on by having a nice morning routine that encourages the much needed structure on which my boys thrive.
This is not about getting up and heading out the door, though we do have swim team during the week so we have places... READ MORE

This morning I stopped by the home of a friend who had a baby a few weeks ago. Not surprising, my friend was nursing her baby and as she is a pro, she walked out to greet me with the baby easily attached.

Naturally, he was thinking more along the lines of power tools, a towering wooden frame, and an enormous green tarp hanging from heavy cord... READ MORE
Game On!

At an outdoor family party, a crowd of children — even quiet, polite ones — can really dull the edge of one’s scintillating after-dinner wit. The temptation is to herd them all indoors and pop in a DVD. Don’t! Instead, set them up with one of these back yard games. They’ll get plenty of exercise, and will enjoy the beauty of a summer evening. Who knows? You might just want to ditch the grown-up gabfest... READ MORE
