3 Ways to Keep Your Parenting Cool

3 Ways to Keep Your Parenting Cool

by | Jul 13, 2015

Has this heat melted us all away? I feel fried and refried. Body and soul. I can’t be the only one. And, I’m a stay-at-home parent; I don’t want to even begin thinking about bosses, commutes, and demanding deadlines all in the proper (un-summer friendly) work attire. Popsicles and flip-flops have become more my style.
But yet, even with this laissez faire lifestyle, I’m struggling a little bit with the overloaded kitchen sink, sticky fingers, and the constant clutter and chatter that goes with summer-at-home kids. So, I’ve spent a few minutes brainstorming some ideas that should help me, and hopefully you, through the rest of these sizzling summer days.

Less is More: Discovering Decluttering

I don’t know about you, but every time we move I find myself with a problem. 

About halfway through unpacking the endless boxes, I find I’m perfectly happy with how the house looks.

In the spring of 2009, my husband called me from Iraq and asked what I thought about an overseas PCS—to Korea.

He had already served two tours in Korea, one before we were married and one when our girls were very small. There had been no command sponsorship then, but he loved it.

I immediately said yes.

I’ve written several times now about my life as a mother—all the ups and downs and ins and outs that came with the arrival of my little boy last fall. But, there’s another person who is an absolutely indispensable part of the Reynolds “Baby Raising Team.” My husband. My child’s dad.

Here at Fort Knox, we have one week of school left. One week! I don’t think I’ve been this excited about summer break since I was a kid. I’m usually the parent who dreads summer break—the long weeks of having all the kids at home, no schedule, no daily routine, no extracurricular activities, the inevitable boredom, the hot temperatures. It is now time to plan some summer activities.
