Ahhh summer! I am actually one of those parents who gets as excited about having the kids home as they are to be out of school. I love hangin’ with my boys every day, not having to get them up at the crack of dawn, the leisure, the play, the whatever.
The only thing about summer that is really different for me is that suddenly I’ve got to put my time management skills into overdrive. You see, I work from home. During the school year, I know I can count on a pretty steady routine where my time is my own from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. I can write all day, go to meetings, meet deadlines, do research (uninterrupted) and whatever else I need to do to keep my work life rolling. How then, do I keep up the same schedule when the kids are home from school?

What do you do with them so they don’t veg out in front of the “Boob Tube” all day?

What do you fix so they don’t eat junk food all day?

And how do you deal effectively and healthily with that extra stress?
