Confessions of a Summer Parent.

The summer will soon be on us and not only do we have the usual list of everyday things that need doing but we also have the added joy of having the children on school holidays!  6 weeks of keeping them entertained and trying not to wish the days away…here is a little guerilla parenting list of summer must haves!

1. MUD.   Kids love making mud pies, perfume from flowers and stomping in muddy water puddles barefoot.  Washing machines are your friend!
2. ART SUPPLIES.   Buy a roll of lining paper and unroll it, paint the kids hands and feet and let them go wild, again Washing machines are your friend!
3. CANDY.  This can be used to either bribe the kids to behave or reward good behaviour – doesn’t matter which as its a win win situation! 😉
4. WINE.  For once the kids are in bed!  (obvs!!)

If you all survive the summer holidays then throw a back to school themed party … they don’t need to know its because you are ready for them to go back! 😉
