"I looked up the word 'aligned,' which means 'to bring to or be in a state of agreement.' And beyond just being on the same page as someone else in decision-making (like where to eat dinner or how to move forward with something at work), I started to consider all the things that can be in or out of agreement in our lives."

"I recently had one of those days where I felt underwater — work deadlines, solo parenting for the evening, crunched on time and to top it off I ended the day with a pounding headache. When I need to hit the easy button on mom life, I schedule Chipotle for pickup. Did you know their kids meals are only $5.50 and include a quesadilla, rice, beans, guac, chips (or fruit) and a chocolate milk? A real deal for a relatively nutritious meal. It's always a hit at our house, and you can do curbside pickup for no fee. I also love that there isn't a ton of excess plastic packaging. Keep this trick in your back pocket for when you need a break at the end of the school year, or don't feel like figuring out yet again what's for dinner this summer."

One reader's favorite low-spend summer activity: "Paddle boarding with my dogs everyday on weekdays." Enjoy, SVS! 🐶
