Don’t get caught up in the “have to get ready” frenzy that tends to occur during the final days of August. Breathe in deep......and relax. We never want to enter into the “back to work” season wired or burdened with high levels of anxiety. Like don’t procrastinate or leave everything to the last minute, do what you need to do. We are simply encouraging you to slow down and enjoy the final moments of the month that truly feels like a Sunday.

Try parks and fun! Call up your friends, pack some snacks and hit up a park or splash pad. It makes for a full day of relaxing fun that will wear out your kids and offer you bellyful laughs with good company!

Stop for the treats! Summer is a good time to indulge. Swing by your favorite ice cream shop and grab a scoop after dinner one evening. If you do, let us know where your favorite spot is, and which flavour is the best!

If you have the capacity to take a spontaneous mid-week or weekend getaway, do it! Run away for a bit to disconnect and truly relax. You’ll come back refreshed and ready to take on the world come September!

Our point here is that we want you to continue to enjoy the remaining summer days before the inevitable grind begins!
