Summer With Kids Can Be Stress-Free

While the kids can hardly wait for the last day of school, parents often go into freak-out mode in May wondering what they’re going to do come summer.  With some easy-to-follow advice, this time of year doesn’t have to be stressful or expensive.

Meet Rosalyn Hoffman – lifestyle guru, mother of two, and author most recently of SMART MAMA SMART MONEY: Raising Happy, Healthy Kids Without Breaking the Bank (NAL Trade Paperback Original; Spring 2012; $15) and the companion blog www.smartmamasmartmoney.com.  From cradle to college, she has shopped the world, made the meals, balanced the books, mastered the technology, and charted the courses to give you the goods on finding what your kids need without losing your shirt…or your sanity!

Roz offers indispensable advice in her new book (perfect last minute Mother’s Day gift!) on a variety of topics, including:

•         Camp on a budget.

•         The lemonade stand – use this popular summer activity to teach kids about goods and services, how products come to the market, money, etc.

•         Summer is a perfect time for DIY – teach kids to make their own clothes, plant gardens, even help out in the kitchen.  With flexible summer schedules it’s a good time to get into good, healthy, budget-conscious routines.

•         Summer Olympics – learn the pros and cons of participation in sports, dropping out, buying equipment, etc. to tie in with what is sure to be one of the hot topics of summer 2012!

•         Family Camp (Not Family Camping) – a great value for a family vacation.

•         Food—this is the time of year that produce is most bountiful so people are thinking about organic vs. local vs. regular. Roz can suggest ways for busy moms to get healthy food on the table.

Check out the new book and the blog!

In the news: Aurora Trust seeks out ancient Mediterranean shipwrecks via MiamiHerald.com

On October 8, 2011, The Miami Herald ran a two-page feature on The Aurora Trust Foundation.

“In 2003, Ian Koblick co-founded the Aurora Special Purposes Trust with fellow ocean explorer Craig Mullen, whose former company helped recover the space shuttle Challenger. The duo wanted to advance the understanding of ancient civilizations through marine cultural heritage.

The operation has discovered 24 ancient shipwreck sites during highly technical surveys of ancient ports, harbors and trade routes in coastal waters of Italy, Malta, Croatia, Spain and France. Many have not been seen for 2,000 years or more.”

AVOID THE STRESS OF BACK-TO-SCHOOL SEASON

Although everyone is still enjoying trips to the beach, outdoor barbecues, and delicious summer fruits, many of us are already worrying about the back-to-school season.  And even those of us who don’t have kids still find ourselves in the back-to-school mode come September, nervous and anxious about forthcoming family gatherings, work presentations, and even holiday parties.  From buying school supplies and
handling homework hassles to managing busy fall schedules, what can we do to
avoid the stress? According to Gale Steves, former editor-in-chief of Home
magazine and organizational guru, it’s all a matter of right-sizing.

In RIGHT-SIZING YOUR HOME: How To Make Your House Fit Your Lifestyle (Northwest Arm Press Trade Paperback;$21.95), Steves defines right-sizing as the concept of working with what you have by making better use of existing space.  She shares valuable money and time-saving advice and takes you step by step through her unique right-sizing process, including cleaning, sorting, and reorganizing. The promise is you can live more fully in your home if you right-size.

“Heading back to school is a call to action for most of us,” Steves says, “but it doesn’t have to be a stressful time.  Use these last few weeks of summer to clean up, clear out, and get organized. Start September off with work surfaces and storage areas that are ready for the challenges of fall.”  She has all kinds of tips and helpful advice
to help get your homes and yourselves ready for the back to school season.  Check out her website, www.right-sizing.com for more ideas.
