Monday Funday: this will feature children's games and activities ideas.
Tidbit Tuesday: this will be tips on a wide variety of things.

Parent's Tidbits!
Fun for You:
It is important to keep your sense of fun and adventure by playing yourself. You can try:
-Taking a fun art class or try a creative writing class.
-Getting outside – go on a picnic, take it to the beach or the lake.
-Visiting with friends you haven’t seen in a while.
Living to 100
People born 100 years ago would typically live to the ripe old age of 50 years, while children born this year are expected to live longer than 80 years. A study of centurions reveals some general guidelines that you can use to help extend your own life, regardless of your current age:
1. Be born a female. Hard to do much about this, but females have been outliving males for centuries.
2. Stay married. Married people live longer than single people - 10 years longer for men, 4 years for women.
3. Eat less. Research shows that life expectancy can be extended by eating less.
4. Pass up refined sugar. Sugar can speed the aging process.
5. Use little salt. Getting used to salt-free tastes will take some time.
6. Reduce protein intake. Excess protein stresses the body and reduces your ability to fight disease.
7. Regular exercise. No need for a gym membership. Brisk walking improves circulation, metabolism and emotional well-being.
Don't take a single day for granted!
Math Activities:
Sharpen your child’s math skills by doing a few of these household chores:
-Laundry Math - Ask your child to help you sort laundry. They can count the socks, towels, t-shirts etc.
-Napkin Fractions - Make fractions fun. Fold paper towels or napkins into large and small fractions. Start with halves and move to eighths and sixteenths. Use a marker to label the fractions.
-How Much Does This Weigh? - Teach your child to estimate. Ask your children to guess the weight of several household objects such as a large book, a pillow, a potted plant etc. Then show your child how to use a scale to weigh the objects.

Summer, Summer, Summa-time!
Dear Family,
Summer is a special time in a young child’s life. Not only is the weather beautiful and outside play is common, but a whole new world of nature and activities opens up for exploration and discovery. With some special tools, we’ll not only see summer through a different perspective, we’ll also bask in the beautiful environment through some sizzling seasonal fun. Join us as we see where all our side trips will lead us!
Parent’s Tidbits
“I want that, I want that!” How many times do you hear that a day? Let your kids make wish banks! They can make them from coffee cans or shoe boxes. Let them find or draw picture of things they want. They can decoupage the pictures on their cans then glam them up with a little glitter or beads or anything else you have lying around. You can give them a few chores so they can save money in their “I want that” banks. This teaches them early on about money management and saving!
