Hello! How are you this lovely Friday? Some of you are lucky to already have your kids home for the summer. I can’t wait but we aren’t done here until the very end of June. For those of you who are done and want to keep an eye on how much online screen time your kids are getting this summer without having to nag with them to turn it off, you’ve got to check out the Circle which I blogged about earlier this week. It’s definitely a favorite thing of mine because of how much easier it’s made my life. I’ve done my research and have been using this device in my own home and it is amazing. Once you create a profile for each member of the family, you can then set daily time limits, set bedtimes, set filters per age group, block ads, get valuable insights into what they are doing on the internet and so much more. You pay once for the device and there are NO monthly subscription fees. Seriously every family needs this to save their sanity and protect their kids. Be sure to check it out HERE.
Clutter Purge Pile:
So I dropped off one bag to the thrift store this past week of decluttered items. Mostly clothes and some annoying sheets that didn’t fit the bed properly. Did you do any purging this week? If you aren’t in the habit of decluttering daily, it helps if you have a donation station set up, so grab yourself a box and put it somewhere accessible so you can quickly throw things in when you come across items you want to part with.
Now let’s take a look at some of my favorite organizing links from this past week.
