We live in a magical land where carbon footprints are calculated and compared, jeans and t-shirts are the local industry uniform, the mom running the school PTA has an MBA from Stanford. We’re smart, educated and we have an opinion.

Apples! My son could eat an entire apple tree. Apples are easy to throw into a bag for a snack on the go. On days I have time, I put out a plate with cheese, crackers, and some fruit. The way, both kids can make up their own snack creations.

What's an affordable and fun family activity?

Parks! We spend a lot of time at local parks - from hiking at bigger county parks to small, neighborhood parks with enough room to kick around a soccer ball, play catch, or try out a different playground. It's easy, generally free (some state or county parks have a parking fee), and gets us outdoors, which boosts our moods and burns off wild kid energy.

Last summer we reconnected with the simple fun of a Wiffle Bat and Ball. Pick up wiffle ball games popped up throughout the day, and anyone at any level could join in. Great fun for about $5 a set. (Unfortunately I could only find a link for a bulk purchase.) http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3809219
