  • Beach Games for Family on Spring Break

    Heading on Spring Break woohoooooo!!! Looking for family games to play on the beach and at the house. Elementary aged. I'm going to try really hard to be good with my phone and keep it away, so something I would enjoy as well. Does this even exist? Thanks!

  • Legit Nervous for Summer

    I have elementary aged kids and as Summer approaches I’m finding myself panicking a bit. I love my children but 3 months in the heat while balancing work is just a lot. I wish we could spend the Summer traveling but it’s not in the cards for us, we have one vacation planned to look forward to.

    Any advice for how to make it through?

  • How did I get the job of Summer Camp Bitch?

    I’m struggling with accepting the reality that the vast majority of moms are given the job of completely planning and running the summer itinerary. This is particularly mind blowing when both parents are working. Why does all the planning, registering, coordinating with friends and driving fall on to moms? Is anyone doing this differently and have advice for how to help me get to a good place about this?

  • Screen Time Strategy for Summer

    What’s your game plan for screens this Summer? I like the idea of earning screen time (with a cap). Curious to hear some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing!

  • Help with chlorine green hair

    Looking for advice on any good products/shampoos or home remedies for chlorine green hair for my very blonde daughter. We have done the special swim shampoos, tried conditioner before she swims, rinse it right away, etc. She hates a swim cap and we are barely into swimming weather and it’s already mermaid green!

  • Sleep away camps & maturity?!

    I grew up going to sleep away camps, but they scare me a little more these days with all the technology, social media and stories these days about counselors/teachers etc doing inappropriate things?!

    At what age do you feel comfortable sending the kids, and how do you know if they are mature enough to tell someone if they get put into a bad situation or make sure they can stand up for themselves?!

  • When is the best time to start swim lessons?

    I have a 15 month old baby who loves water. I would love to get her into swim lessons but don’t want it to be a waste of time doing the classes since she already has no problem with water in her face or even me dunking her in water. I’ve heard a lot about those survival classes. I’d love to hear the good and the bad for any class/place! Thank you in advance!
