As you know the kids are back in school. As a result, you can finally shop at Target alone without buying a toy that you didn’t budget for.
Now, what do you do after school?
The topic of conversation between Moms is after school activities. Maybe you are waiting to see what your kids will want to do after school? Do kids really know what they want? All signs are pointing towards sports but what if there was something else to do besides sports? Something that would help regulate behavior and emotions after being in a rule-following environment all day. My list covers everything from low commitment, drop-in friendly, and daytime classes available where homeschool kids are welcome too! A place where kids can go and use their “Right brain” and be creative!
