We made it to the end of the school year here in NYC. Yay! I\u2019m happy that both my (teacher) husband Reggie and my sons enjoyed relatively smooth and successful years. Sean\u2019s teacher wrote on his report card that his assignment\/goal is to have FUN every day. Now, that\u2019s<\/strong> summer homework that I feel great about! On to my Friday Favorites\u2026<\/p>\n

Kids:<\/strong>\u00a0In a world constantly marred by division, kids give me hope. The picture above of my son Michael and his friends on the last day of school is the perfect example. They are very different \u2013 Black, White, Asian, Muslim, Jewish (and as my kid would say of himself, \u201cfrom a Christian family because I\u2019m not old enough to make that decision\u201d) BUT they all enjoyed hanging out and having fun together \u2013 eating at Shake Shack and watching a silly movie that day. Our society would do well to imitate them!<\/p>\n

Smoothies:\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m in a \u201csmoothies for summer breakfast\u201d season. The kids enjoy them too!<\/p>\n

\"peach<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunglasses: \u00a0<\/strong>My youngest son already has eye health challenges<\/a> so I\u2019ll do whatever I can to keep his eyes as strong as possible. The 2014 post Why I don\u2019t let my kids go out in the sun without sunglasses<\/a><\/em>\u00a0includes one easy thing \u2013 reminding kids to wear sunglasses. (I had no idea that UV rays had so much potential to damage a child\u2019s eyes!)<\/p>\n

Summer Fridays:<\/strong> If you work in corporate America, do you get \u201cSummer Fridays\u201d? I vaguely remember getting 1\/2 or whole days off on Fridays during the summer. Anyway, I decided to give myself Fridays off during the summer this year. I\u2019m still working out the details regarding how to juggle work with my other responsibilities, but taking Fridays off from work is definitely part of the plan. My kids jokingly asked me, \u201cWHAT\u2019S THE PLAN???\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 (They know their mama so well. \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
