Having access to the Internet is both a blessing and a curse at the same time.
While you are able to find plenty of suggestions on how to make the perfect birthday party for your one year old, it can also hurt because you don’t think that you can ever measure up to what you see on the screen.
Being a parent is hard enough you don’t need this added pressure of unrealistic expectations to add to it.
It was a year ago that I read an article about how this mother wanted to have a “1970s Summer.”
This meant more time outside and allowing kids to just be kids.
Like letting children get all sticky sweet from sugar loaded Popsicles minus the organic and no sugar added variety.
Letting them stay up too late to go outside and catch lightening bugs and camp in the backyard.
We started to do this last year by enjoying smores by the fire pit and doing indoor camping and letting her eat too much ice cream.
We plan on doing this again this year.
So when I was on Pinterest, ironic, isn’t it, I found a lot of places that had lists of things to do over the summer with your children.
Here is a list that I really like from Natural Beach Living.
