"I'm bored!"

I distinctly remember saying this a TON as a child and especially during the summer when my mom worked full time and my sister and I were at home alone.  There were lots of rules about what we could do, where we could go, and who could come to our house, which made it seem utterly boring to hang out at home.  This is when my sister and I would fight over the remote control, eat bowls upon bowls of ice cream, and talk to friends on AOL Instant Messenger.

So what can you do about this "tween" boredom that is a very real thing?  I created a summer homework calendar that is something your child will actually enjoy doing this summer.  Check it out and let me know what you think!  Grab it free here:
