Keep Your Kids off the Summer Slide!
While summer may be a great time for kids to lounge by the pool, visit with friends and explore new places, too much relaxation can actually be bad for their brains.
The “summer slide” refers to the knowledge most students lose over summer vacation. As a former teacher, I’ve witnessed the effects of summer break first hand.

Sunscreen
Tips & Tricks
We all know how important sunscreen is, but thought I’d share a few tips and facts with you all!
While sunscreen is important to use year round, we tend to spend a lot more time outdoors in the sunshine during the summertime, so be prepared!
Create a morning routine for yourself AND your kids that includes a first coat of sunscreen. For my kids, I use a non-oily moisturizer with a 30 SPF on them after they brush their teeth each morning. Then before they go outside, I apply ...
