Is Summertime restful?

Do these approaching longer days mean more rest
or more chaos?  School has ended and we are busier
than ever.  Play dates, sports, outdoor activities,
vacations and projects that were saved to complete
over the summer.  How do we as families make sure
we are focusing on those things most important over
the summer time?

During the school year there is typically a defined
schedule of sorts.  We go to school and work each
day. Homework, activities and sports become the
focus in the afternoons.  Dinner and a set bedtime
follow.  What happens in the summer time?  Is there
a daily routine or are we just as scheduled out?

Despite what appears to be a more open day, a
summertime plan with boundaries is just as critical
as during the school year.  Make sure that your family
has created more family time in your day. Keep night
time routines similar to the school year, so that getting
back into the swing of things come August is not a
nightmare. And, make sure you have boundaries set
for children of all ages for activities.

As parents, we tend to think that summer time will be
that of rest, rejuvenation and completing things that did
not happen during the other seasons; however, that
is not always the case.  Summer time can be more of
a juggling act due to work and vacation. This can
lead to added stress.  Summer time should be that of
slowing down, revisiting those things that do make you
feel energized and making more time for family events
that cannot always happen during the school year.

Whatever you find this summer, make it memorable,
restful and enjoyable for everyone in the family.  This
is a great time to work on goals independently and
together.  Have each member plan something this
summer that they are in charge of coordinating for the
whole family.  Even the youngest of children can plan
a day out.  Assign projects to each person to help and
talk about how everyone contributes to the home.
Remember to empower one another to understand
the importance of each other's roles in your family
and how they work together as one. And, take time
for yourself as parents.  A walk, a dinner out, a movie
or just ten minutes of uninterrupted time together.
Make it happen!

All of us at Kids Klutter wish you a safe, fun and
adventurous summer time together.  If you are interested
in helping your school make money through two simple
fundraising opportunities, please visit us on our website

Blessings and happy summer!

Springtime!

Hello from Kids Klutter! I was sitting
here looking out my window at the snow on
the ground watching the trees blow in the
cold wind and thought about how much I
was ready for Spring time. We always tend
to crave it as Winter comes closer to ending
and those snowfalls seem to continue to pop
up. I wondered what it was I craved the
most about Spring?

Spring is full of transformations and
transitions. During the winter time we tend
to want to hibernate more and Spring brings
us renewal opportunities. We see new growth
all around us which inspires us to want to
get outside more, start on projects left
aside, and strive for new things. The warm
weather, the beauty in the budding of trees
and flowers, and fresh colors all around us
help build our positive energy and look ahead
at things more openly. It is a time for
discovery!

This season also helps us to realize we only
have a few more months of school and this is
the real push to stay organized, helping our
kiddos use the skills they have been learning
this year and realizing how much they are
growing into independent learners. This Spring
transition is a great time for new creativity
together! Have a great season.
