  1. We are currently renovating our kitchen and when that’s finished I’m going to work on expanding my regular meal rotation and having the kids help cook more.

  2. These are all great. Time management is my weak point. I need to spend less screen time and more active time, setting a better example for my kids!

  3. These are all excellent ideas. Learning and growing as a parent is very important. I found your info on time management techniques especially interesting. Thanks for sharing!

  4. Love the tips. It sure is different than when I was raising my kids, and I actually think it’s probably harder. I don’t envy the kind of things my daughter worries about with her kids.
