Memorial Day weekend has come and gone and you know what that means. The kids are almost out of school and the reality of having them home all summer is finally dawning on you. You’ve put it off for the last couple of weeks as you’ve been attending end-of-school barbecues and thinking about teacher gifts. But now it’s coming, and it’s coming fast. 

There are a few awesome things about summer, for sure. Maybe you have a little more free time to take a beach day or a hike in the woods. Maybe you’re looking forward to block parties and watermelon and kicking your feet up with a beach read. But maybe you’re also cursing your office job for keeping you from those things. Maybe you’re thinking about how much you’re going to sweat. And maybe you’re wondering how the heck you’re going to entertain your children for a whole summer.
