SharpMom’s Beachside Book Club
June 14, 2006
This summer I’ll be reading a couple of books that are fun and mindless–great for the beachside or poolside. Keep an eye out for my Beachside Reviews and please share your favorite summer reads with us too.
Will You be the Teacher this Summer?
June 13, 2006
Are you planning on taking over the role as your child’s teacher this summer? Well, maybe not entirely, but a SharpMom likes SharpKids and I’m sure you’ll want to spend some time reviewing the basics this summer and having some fun too.
My child’s teacher shared some great sites with me that I wanted to pass along. As always, please check out these sites for yourself and monitor your child while using them. There are pop-up advertisements and other things to be aware of.

Tip of the Week: Free Magazine
June 12, 2006
Here’s a really great tip for you. Kraft Foods publishes a quarterly magazine (plus a special holiday edition) called Kraft food & family. You can sign up to receive the magazine for free on the Kraft Foods web site.
The magazine is excellent. It’s filled with tons of recipes, quick and easy steps and lots of pictures (so you know what everything is supposed to look like!). I just received my Summer edition today and it features over 50 recipes for grilling. The magazine also includes health tips and entertaining ideas. I’m going to try the Simply Sensational Strawberry Shortcake. It looks delicious in the picture–I hope I can do it justice. Keep you fingers crossed for me!
Check out the web site/magazine and share your favorite recipes with us.
About SharpMom
Hi, I'm Katie. I’ve been successfully working at home and homeschooling my kids for the past 14 years, so I figured it’s time to get out there and start sharing what I’ve learned along the way. I'm glad you're here to join in the fun!
