Enjoy a stress-free
summer with the kids
Between camp, going on holidays
and playdates, summer vacation
can feel like endless planning and
shuffl ing from activity to activity. Fortunately,
you can use these tips and
tricks to cut down on your stress and
enjoy quality family time together.
Create a schedule. Jot down family
activities and commitments on a large
calendar and keep it on the fridge so everyone
can see what’s coming up. This
will help give the kids a sense of security
and routine that’s missing during
the summer months. Just be fl exible,
and make sure to schedule plenty of
free time to relax and enjoy quiet time
with a book.
Cut down kitchen time. Don’t like
having to choose between healthy and
quick, easy meals? Look for simple, nutritious
meal options that take much
of the work out of cooking. For easy
lunches and dinners you’ll feel good
about serving the kids, try Mann’s
Nourish Bowls. Ready in just a couple
of minutes in your microwave, the
bowls were developed by chefs and feature
superfood veggies like broccoli,
sweet potato and kale. They work as
great side dishes to complete a fast and
healthy meal.
Plan special dates. Getting out of
the house regularly doesn’t mean having
to use up the family travel budget.
Give the kids an excuse to use up their
energy and get some fresh air by scheduling
some fun, free activities. Go to
the park, spend time in the library and
visit your local community swimming
pool. Keep the kids on top of chores and
other duties by presenting these activities
as rewards for a job well done.
