Maybe your upcoming road trip is just into the city, but traffic can still be rough. Download an app (like Waze) to avoid the most high-traffic areas. You might drive farther, but you will enjoy the day more! Easy being out all day long!



Grandparents like enjoying their grands at theme parks, too! Check on renting a mobility scooter. Most big parks have them, and your parents will have as good a time as your children! (Plus grandparents make great babysitters if you need a little alone time!)


Now that summer's heat and humidity is really kicking in, banish clammy nights with fresh cotton sheets. Even silks work well, and you will enjoy the sensuous fabric. Add a fan to your bedside table, and you will enjoy perfect dreams all summer long!


Summer can make us feel cooped up ... kids and toys in the house ... it never seems to end. Put some space between you and the kids' clutter. Pile everyone in the car and take a drive. When you return, you'll be able to see your surroundings in a new light, and the mess may well seem like less. Fresh eyes can put things in perspective! 


If your prescription glasses are too scratched to be reusable, take out the lenses and turn them into a dressup prop for your children or grandchildren. You can even donate the frames to a school and recycle the lens with your household recyclables. Glasses reused! Perfect!
