* To keep the kids' sight word skills fresh over the summer, we are playing sight word bingo practically every day now. It was really easy to make and laminate bingo cards. And I use the flash cards we got from school to "call" the words. Bingo is a win-win!
* "Potluck parties and leftovers: Is there too much food left at the end of the party? When throwing a potluck, make sure you remind your guest to bring some take-home containers. Have them fix a few containers of "seconds" and store them in a big cooler by the front door. Hang a few take-out bags on the doorknob and your pals won't forget to take their goodies home!" -- M.W. in Florida
* Kids clamoring about whose turn it is? No fear. You've got the solution in your desk drawer. Simply write each child's name on a self-stick note, and stack them. The kid on top takes the first turn, and then peels his or her name off and moves it to the bottom. Easy peasy.
* Going on a road trip this summer? Check your tire pressure to save money. Maintaining the correct tire pressure can have a direct effect on how many miles you get to the gallon. It can save you in everyday driving, but it really adds up when traveling longer distances. Check your car's manual for the correct pressure. Or, some cars have a sticker in the door well or glove box with that information.
* "In my house, we love straws. Because we're into recycling, we make sure to get the most out of each one. Keep a small jar at the sink, where we rinse straws before setting them in the jar to dry. Reuse at will." -- F.O. in Pennsylvania
