    Amanda, you are so cute about the iceberg lettuce hack. Your MIL must by my age. I learned this from my mother growing up and do it all the time. I find it crazy that the younger generation don't know about this. How time flies and interesting to find that some things fell off due to families not learning from earlier generations because of all the changes and disconnect. I love seeing how you and your family stay connected and realize how important that is.

    I like to change the decor, and I am thinking about designing my future home closer to your home.
    I feel proud and humble at the same time.
    In general, I liked the way fruits and vegetables are in the jars, and I will adopt them.

    Other boredom busters:
    - draw a picture for a loved one if they're too young for writing a letter
    - fold laundry
    - walk the dog
    - play with pets
    - help siblings with chores
    - wash the car
    - bigger kids can reaearch new recipes for family dinners (everyone can use new ideas)

    For the boys "Habit Tracker" area, you also have some boards on the side of the fridge that I have seen from time to time. These would be great to add to that area.
    You could add "Give Emma a bath" to the jar. Car wash? Lemonade stand obviously. Yard Sale prep.
    Good luck busting the I'm Bored Syndrome!

    Hi Amanda I’ve been a long time subscriber but I just don’t comment at all! But I truly love your channel! ❤
    Anyways what I wanted to share is for my kids what I decided to do for the summer is we printed a “reading chart” they’re gonna be a reading at least 2 chapters a day and if they do they get a sticker for that day. Then they get to pick a reward after the charts been filled up. My kids choose $40.00 dollars or going out to eat like a Red Robin’s. But they have to keep up with the reading everyday for that reward to count. Otherwise they can’t play the VR, or games or be on the phone. Only because reading is a big issue for kids now days to get into and try to imagine a story. I have 1 teen 13yrs old, 12yrs and. 6yr old. So I know how crazy it is being on top of kids and trying to encourage them to read. I just thought I’d share. Maybe you could give it a try. 😊💕 Oh also I found my reading charts on Etsy! 😊

    Very inspiring! My daughter is graduating high school next week and doesn’t yet have a summer job, so I’m hoping she and I can set up a gentle “to do” board to keep her moving forward and not just sleeping all day. And, I’m thinking about creating an “I’m bored” jar for *me* (“learn to knit;” “use one of your 8 million face masks;” etc.). Lots to take from this video.

    Hello gorgeous lady.
    I absolutely love your videos!!! Ingenious, ideas given, very useful.
    I will like to congratulate you for teaching your 3 little gentleman to clean after themselves and also cook it is amazing what you do because if we look around at this young generation and we are just stunt of their helpless, they just don't know to do anything, they don't know to clean after themselves, or to cook, or simply to have a conversation. So yes!!! You are an amazing mum!!
    And at the beginning of June, I don't know exactly when it will arrive at your P.O box the two pendants that you liked. ❤
    A huge hug from far away to you and your lovely family !

    Hi how about the alphabet game that you can all play together you choose a topic like boys names, a fruit or vegetable etc and start with the letter A and go through the alphabet so for example a fruit beginning with A can be apple till you have gone through the whole alphabet my kids loved this when they were young and still play it now and my oldest plays it with his kids xx

    I LOVE my chopper! I have Sjögren’s syndrome and I can’t chop onions anymore without a lot of pain in my eyes & as I get older arthritis in my hands make this a great help. I loved the granola in the fruit cups idea! You could do the same with dressings for your salads too! Have you tried a little $15 egg cooker to keep hard boiled eggs in the refidge for snacking? They cook perfectly in 12 min. It’s little and stores easily!

    flashlight hide and seek! we had a version of this in my family growing up. we called it, "chase", and we all had these little, glow-in-the-dark key fobs, and the only rule was the fob had to be visible. this was played in our house in pitch-darkness. an amazing stealth game. SO MUCH FUN and you've got my stamp of approval! (not that you needed it, but you know...)

    We love to play connect 4 and they do have the smaller version, but they also do have the live size. One that you could play a poolside are in the house or out on the patio. Really cool really cool. We love to play connect 4.

    My kids get out of school midway through June and go back the Tuesday after Labor Day.
    I love the greek yogurt zero sugar with fresh blueberries, granola and honey.
    Love the veggie jars!!!
    Ive done the parfaits and love them.
    I have thought about the chopper but i tend to do all the chopping myself but during food prep that would save a lot of time. Im an old fashion girl for certain things chopping is one of them.
    I always did an AM and then a PM routine tracker. If they completed everything for the week they got to pock what movie we did for movie night or whatbgame we played for game night (both done as a family)
    My kids are mostly grown up, daughter has moved out and sone is 17. We always did movie night or game night during school but over the summer we did two nights.

    Another great video Amanda! How long do you salads in the jar last in the fridge? Loved you cup for the granola idea!!!can’t wait to do that! Have your kids ever done “ gratitude journals”? My kids enjoyed those when they were your kiddos age. They would just list 2 of 3 things each night that tree weed grateful fur that day and why. 😉

    We homeschool, so the kids are always home 🫠🙃😊 we’re with a charter school though, so check-ins, classes, co-op, etc all end this week. We’ll still do about an hour of ‘school’ most days - but have lots more free time!
