I can’t believe that summer has went by so quickly! Schools will be starting up again very soon, which means that as a school nurse I will be headed back as well.
I am a mom of three kids and will have huge lists of supplies soon. I have found that for me making lists really helps keep me organized and the stress levels down.
I also bought a really big family calendar that I hung up by the coat racks. Hopefully, this too will help.

How much is too much?
Do you ever think it’s possible to allow your kids to do too much? It seems that as parents we go from one activity to another, without much time to breathe and relax. Do you think that it’s possible to have our children over booked? And if so, what type of results do you believe happen from this? Do you think that it increases the stress level and increased discipline problems?
I’d love to know your thoughts on this.

Ways to relax
I’ve had a long day. A full day at work. Home with the kids. Cleaning up after dinner. Doing a few quick household chores. Now, I am sitting here, surfing online, while I listen to the kids in their rooms.
It seems more and more of a challenge for me to find ways to relax-ways that won’t be incredibly time consuming. I find that by taking a few minutes to just let my mind go blank, it really helps me physically as well as mentally. Here are a few things that work for me. Please feel free to post ideas of your own.
1. Deep breathing.
2. Taking a short walk. This is something that I don’t do nearly often enough. Actually I do it very rarely but do enjoy it when I take the time.
3. A short power nap.
4. Taking a warm bath.
5. Chatting with an old friend.
Now what ways do you find work for you?
I teach the six week class through LVS, the Leader in Virtual Studies. And at $30.00 for all six weeks, you won’t find a more economical class…all online and at your convenience.

Holiday stress….
It’s that time of year. The leaves are turning gorgeous colors. They crunch under foot when walking. The day light hours are shorter. The holidays are approaching.
Do you find the holidays bring stress as well as joy?
How do you handle the stress? Do you have any tips or suggestions?
