For a few years now, I have been looking into different meal planning methods, products, tips and tricks. I have actually been planning our family meals for many years, so the concept is not new to me. I used to start with the grocery list as a guide to what to plan.

There’s so much I want to do!” Others may be thinking, “Seven weeks?! These kids are already bored and making me crazy!” Either way, the school year is coming and with it will come packing…
I know all you parents out there are looking at the schedule for all of the camps and trying to decide what to do. What is the perfect mix of day camp, regular summer activities, and downtime at home. There are so many choices—art camp, science/STEM camp, horse camp, robotics camp, volleyball/dance/etc. camp.
