YES! I was a camp counselor at Camp Merrie-Woode for two years and a camper for six, and while I don’t have kids, I utilize TONS of my old “skills” when I babysit. The raised hand, table waitress (or “TG,” for table girl, as Merrie-Woode called it), and scheduled events are all great, and I plan to implement them when I have a kid in the future. Thanks for taking me back to some fun memories!

Love this post! As former camp counselor, I related. It’s encouraging to know that I actually have the tools necessary to manage my 3.

That all sounds like such an easy way to deal with kids. I like it. Now that you’ve solved that issue – how to solve the brain-fried mother who forgets things like these when tired out and having difficulty mustering up energy to get them going. It’s a snow day here – Wisconsin – and the younger 2 are playing “school”. I’m letting them go with it…

Oh my gosh–I thought my mother was the only one who did the hot chocolate and popcorn! Snow day here today. I am sure hot chocolate is on our agenda along with snow cream:)

Brilliant….takes me back to being a camper. Here’s hoping it will be that simple on today’s snow day
