Who gets everyone up, dressed, and out the door every morning? ⏰ 👕🚪 What about school pick up and drop off?🏫 Meal times? Bed times? 🛌 These are some of the tasks that @FairPlaylife calls the daily grind. They need to happen every day, at certain times. You can’t postpone dinner until tomorrow because you just didn’t get to it today. 🍽️ In many families, these daily grind tasks fall on moms. Dads tend to take on car maintenance, lawn care, and other items that can be done on their own time. 🔧🌱 And offer to help out when they can. Yes, all of these tasks hold value and need to be done to keep the household functioning. However, the daily grind tasks should be shared between partners. 👫 In my house, my husband takes the kids to school and I pick them up. 🏫 I tend to make breakfast for everyone during the week. My husband takes over on the weekends. We swap the bedtime routine. Each night one of us is in charge and the other gets a bit of free time.  Share in the comments how you divide the daily grind. And, if you want support in figuring out how to make this happen in your household, keep an eye on this page! Something is coming soon!

There’s a reason every sitcom you’ve ever watched has had this ONE thing… We all want to feel connected to a community. But how often do we stop and actually think about the mechanics of how a community comes together? It’s one thing to know that we want something, but like with anything else in life, it doesn’t become an achievable goal until we develop a tangible plan to get there. So how do we get there? The first and perhaps biggest step has to do with WHERE we connect with people. Have you noticed that in every sitcom you’ve ever seen, there is a go-to spot where all the characters like to meet? ▪️ In Friends, they had the Central Perk coffee shop. ▪️ In Seinfeld, they had the corner restaurant. ▪️ In How I Met Your Mother, they had the downstairs pub. ▪️ Cheers was even named after the bar where they all meet. There is something important about having a place you visit regularly outside of home and work. We like to call it a “third place”. This third place is a critical component of building community. And it’s a critical component of fostering the type of life most of us want to experience. Think about it.  Where’s your “third place?”  Got a spot where you kick back, meet pals, feel like part of something bigger? If not, why not create one?  Could be simple.  A coffee joint, a park, a local bar, a run club, a gym.  Make it where you build your community.

As the summer winds down and the excitement of a new school year begins, it’s the perfect time to think about transitioning your routines from the laid-back summer schedule to a more structured school year rhythm.  Here are a few back-to-school season transition tips: ⏰ Start with smaller changes like shifting bedtimes and wake-up times gradually. This will make the morning of that first day of school so much smoother. 📝 Create dedicated homework and study areas to help with motivation and productivity. A clean, organized space free of distractions can help improve focus.  🗓️ Use a shared calendar to keep track of all school events, extracurricular activities, and family plans to keep everyone in the loop.  As we approach Labor Day, it’s a good reminder that putting in the effort to establish effective organizing systems can save you so much time and energy in the long run.  If you’re looking for a few more back-to-school season tips - read our latest blog post here:

FROM CHAOS TO CALM… CHILDREN DESIGN CANTEEN I’d like to share an inspiring story of creativity and transformation at Sylvester School in Knowsley! 🎨✨ A few years ago children at Sylvester School took part in a canteen makeover challenge, where they designed a new space that would reflect their vision of a relaxing and calm environment. Drawing inspiration from their Relax Kids visualisation stories, they worked together to create a space that was not only functional but also peaceful and rejuvenating. One of their favourite Relax Kids meditations, "Relaxing by the Ocean," became a key inspiration for the design. The calming imagery of the ocean, gentle waves, and peaceful surroundings helped shape the tranquil atmosphere they envisioned for their new canteen. 🏖️🌊 The result? The school won the £10,000 canteen makeover, and the children’s design vision has now come to life in the form of a magical new canteen! 🏆🎉 What’s even more wonderful is the feedback from staff—they’ve noted that the newly transformed space is now a relaxing place for the children to eat, where they can enjoy their meals in a calm and peaceful atmosphere. This is a perfect example of how the power of imagination, creativity, and mindfulness can transform everyday spaces—and I couldn’t be more proud of the children for bringing their vision to life. 🌟 I love how they were inspired by their imaginations and Relax Kids meditations. #relaxKids #mindfulnessinschools #creativespaces #visualisation #wellbeinginschools
