TAKING IT WAY BACK
I Rewatched ‘Now And Then’ & It Changed How I Do Summer With My Kids ([link removed])

Today, Allison Kenien has a confession: “K, I admit it. I try way too hard to entertain my kids ([link removed]) . This is me: ‘Hey, kids, I made a scavenger hunt for you ([link removed]) . When you're done, we can go to the trampoline park. Then we'll go pick strawberries and use them to make smoothies.’”

But she’s determined to do things differently this summer, thanks to a beloved classic from our childhood: “Rewatching the 1995 movie Now and Then made me realize I'm being excessive. My kids don't need all that entertainment. In fact, they might be happier if I took a very different approach.” I don’t know about you, but I’m reaching that point in summer when I really needed to hear it. Maybe you do too? Give it a read.
