Most of the mothers I know had a great time with their kids during the summer--having extra time with the kids home from school allows all sorts of opportunities for family game nights, living room camping trips, staying up late, and, yes, making messes! In fact, I know of few moms who don't list Getting The House Under Control as a major perk of school starting up again. (My homeschooling mom friends seem to either have a routine in place so things never get too out-of-control, or have made peace with things being less than magazine-ready.)Whether you're a mom with kids going back to school, a homeschooling parent looking to create a more peaceful haven, or one of the non-mom masses who would nonetheless like to create a less-stressed environment and lifestyle for yourself, I have some great resources for you!
