Get Prepared for Summer Fun
When preparing summer activities for your family, it’s good to know what activities are being considered and how you are going to pull them off! Making it happen in a timely manner will depend on your budget and the tools and resources you have at your disposal.
Plan Ahead
If your vacations consist of a few long weekends, or things to do locally throughout the summer, make sure that you’ve booked ahead. It seems like people are out in mass these days no matter what you’re doing, so make sure you call a head to the museum, campgrounds, RV park, hotel, or theme park - whatever you are getting out to do – to make sure you have tickets or reservations, and that you’re prepared with snacks and food choices all ages will love.
Make a Weekly Calendar
Planning your week is a fun activity in itself that even the kids can take a part in. Give the whole family something to look forward to on those lazy and sometimes “boring” Sunday afternoons. Get a chalkboard to hang in the kitchen or living area and keep a running list of tantalizing upcoming events. Some ideas might be:
- Your favorite meal night, like taco night or pizza night
- Painting or crafts projects
- Pool day at grandpas
- Movie night
- Play date bonus day
- Family walk time
- Morning at the park
- Grill out night
- Postcard writing
- Fine arts practice time (dancers, musicians, sports kids and artists)
The list is only limited by your imagination and the things your family loves to do. Keep it flexible and if you work outside the home then arrange these projects and activities for the evening and the weekends. But for the at home parents, keeping your kids on a schedule of fun activities can be a lifesaver when [...]

If You’re a Homeowner, You Have Incredible Leverage When You Sell Today
In today’s housing market, homeowners have a great opportunity to sell their house and receive the best terms for their personal situation. That’s because there’s a limited number of homes for sale, which is creating competition among buyers. Right now, homebuyers want three things:
