INKDROP RUG HOW TO
They tend to be chaotic and the teens don’t always know how to handle the interpersonal drama that occasionally pops up. This is a word-of-mouth thing, but be wary of the camps that have too many teens and even very young adults on staff. The next year, I gave him a lot more input.ĥ. Don’t assume that you know which ones will hold the most appeal you might be surprised by what they do NOT want to do. If you have older kids, involve them in the process of picking out camps. This year, we built in three “no-camp weeks” to give him some much-needed downtime.Ĥ. This doesn’t work when kids are younger and need full-time care, but for our older kid, we learned the hard way that having a different camp every week was really hard on him. While we can technically make it work, it is so much hassle and really throws off the workday, even when we WFH.ģ. We don’t do half-day camps unless it’s affiliated with a school activity they’re already in. If you’re going this route, know this going in and decide whether adding more families to your family’s schedule is really worth it.Ģ. Coordinating summer schedules with friends is the best for easy carpool arrangements.Īll good tips! Amen to nearly every point on your list.ġ.

Plan for backup drivers for each drop off/pick up.
INKDROP RUG MOVIE
My exhausted zombie children have not been up for workbooks, planned activities or anything but a movie or quiet play in their bedrooms between camp and dinner.ħ. Allow for down time in the afternoons, especially after sports camps.
Side note: my pediatrician said most kid growth happens during the summer based on her experience, so maybe that is why my kids have eaten like monsters (and grown two inches each) since the end of the school year…Ħ. My formula was frozen uncrustable, fruit, veggie+dip, and crackers. Pack bigger snacks than you think necessary, especially for sports camps. When possible, sign up for camp-provided meals.ĥ. My employer didn’t care, but I felt unsettled which was not good for me.Ĥ. WFH flexibility is great, but exercising that flexibility meant inconsistent hours for me all summer. Be realistic about the care coverage you need – pay for before/after care when needed. Multiple drop off locations are the worst.ģ. Kids need to go to the same place every week. He knows for next year that this needs to be communicated in February, not in June.Ģ. Also, my sweet DH said in February he didn’t want any input on the summer schedule (fine by me, I’m clearly the planner in the relationship), but in June was disappointed kids were not in camp with no spots left. Being on top of these dates gets you first pick of camps/activities instead of leftovers. Camps in my area are announced in late January – early March and signups begin in late March/early April. Plan EARLY and get all stakeholders involved. This list is going in a calendar reminder that will ping me at the end of January when the process starts over again…ġ. We have learned several lessons, many the hard way, and I thought I’d share my list and ask what you wise ladies would add.
Now that the camp portion of the summer is winding down in our area, I’m reflecting on our first summer doing the camp/summer care juggle with two kids (youngest started school last year and full-time nanny managed summers before this one).

This Jonathan Adler Inkdrop Rug from Ruggable starts at $109 for a 2 x 3 and goes up from there depending on the size. It does take a bit of time to smooth out any rumples in the rug cover (especially the large ones), but that’s outweighed by my ability to salvage it from anything my kids throw at it. After my oldest spilled a cup of milk in the dining room, I removed the 8 x 10 rug cover, stuffed it into my washer and dryer, and it came out as good as new. These rugs are water-resistant, stain-resistant, and completely washable. There are lots of designs to choose from, but I really like this one from their collab with Jonathan Adler. So, for areas with a high probability of spills (dining room, bathroom), I got a few washable rugs from Ruggable. Once I had kids, I figured it was just a matter of when, not whether, they would mess up my rugs.
