FAMILY TIME
This Is What Your Weekends Could Look Like If Your Kids Quit Sports ([link removed])

“My teens and I make homemade pizza ([link removed]) every Friday night,” writes Katie Bingham-Smith today. “There’s usually an extra friend that stops by and spends the night. I’ll find myself whipping up a batch of frozen cookie dough or popcorn before I go to bed because they usually sneak downstairs to watch a scary movie. We all look forward to just relaxing and hanging out.” And when she goes to bed, she knows she’s not going to have to get up early the next morning or spend the weekend scrambling.

Why? Because her kids quit organized sports. And now she’s painting a vivid picture of what your life could look like if you did, too. It’s pretty tempting!

There’s Never Been A Better Time To Be A ‘Weird’ Kid ([link removed])

As a former weird kid myself — and now, frankly, a weird adult — I just love this piece. Meg St-Esprit writes: “In the 90s, my friends and I had very unique interests and were viewed as oddballs or “weird” kids by the rest of our peers, so we kept quiet about our love for cross-stitching or country western line dancing. But with the explosion of online connectivity as well as a broader understanding of how kids learn, more kids are able to explore their very cool and unique interests — and it’s been so wonderful for this weird kid to watch.” Read it and gain a new appreciation for the way we do childhood today.
