Your power company or city specialist will usually offer you a home energy audit for free. They will suggest ways to cut energy use and can even suggest resource programs that will come to your house to do energy-related upgrades for you, often for a token amount (or even free).
As the days heat up, your garden plants will require more water. So will your weeds. Cut the competition and cut your water bill by weeding often (daily if you can).
Add peat moss to the tops of your container plants or work it into the soil. The peat looks great and works to conserve moisture. It's great for flowers or fruit vines that need acidic soil.
Your best summer adventures can crop up unexpectedly. Be sure you know how to access your phone's camera at a moment's notice. Document the last day of school, the outfit your child wears to summer events, and the smile you get when you treat them to an ice cream on the way home from your errands.
Schedule several days a week for your teen's summer activities. Maybe it's just a trip to get ice cream or a bike ride in the park, but put it on the family calendar, and you'll keep your kiddos on track all summer long.
