Quick and Easy Life Skills Summer Camp (At Home)

Published on June 11, 2023August 12, 2023 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

This time of year gets crazy around here, and sometimes I feel like I can’t sign up for one. more. thing! I did however just sign up for these workshops. I can fit them into our school schedule, as we are schooling year-round, to help keep things fun and interesting.

I’m all about the quick and easy. I also think that it might come in handy to have the kids be a little more independent around the house as I am scheduled to be out of commission for a bit toward the end of summer… more on that later.

That’s why I’m loving these 3 video workshops from #LifeSkillsNow summer camp.

They’re available right NOW!
I don’t have to wait for anything on my calendar
They’re super short, about 10 minutes each
I don’t have to go anywhere!
Kids ages 5-18 are ALL covered! (When is the last time you saw something online that was a good fit for teens??)

Well, in our house it was me today but the kids are pretty good about making lunch on most days which helps out a lot.

Social media can be a tough place to hang out.

Not only is there a way too much division right now, but even just seeing other moms trying to be positive and sharing the great things their kids are doing tends to make lots of people feel less than adequate.

“Comparisonitis” isn’t good for anyone’s mental health, and today I want to challenge you to take inspiration from what others are doing instead.
