Active Kids Needs Downtime in Summertime
Busy. That’s the word I would use to describe our summer. And we cut back on activities…a lot. But we’re still chock-a-block full over here. From swim team to workout sessions at the health club to doctor/dental appointments to day…

I’m sure you have heard people say don’t sweat the small stuff? Both the book and more likely, the phrase. In fact the full title of the book is Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…and it’s all small stuff. Because, like…
