Here at WNZR, we want to help you and your kids get ready for back to school! Care.com has 101 tips for you and your kids! Here are some for you:

  1. Set your kids’ sleep schedules back to “School Time” two weeks before the first day.
  2. Get your kids involved in programs that they can do after school to keep them active.
  3. Visit cultural attractions like museums to shift their brains into “Scholar” mode.
  4. Hire an after-school sitter to help care for your kids while you’re at work.
  5. Encourage your kids to read at least one book before the school year begins (or during the school year).

Today on the Morning Thing, we celebrated Happiness Happens day! This is a day to do what makes you happy and to do things to make others happy! How do you celebrate Happiness Happens Day? With pink lemonade, of course! Did you know that the pink in pink lemonade is not from pink lemons, but from cranberry juice? Click HERE for a recipe.

We also celebrated Sneak Some Zucchini Into Your Neighbor’s Porch Day (no, we’re not making this up). To read about this wacky holiday, click HERE! For some yummy zucchini recipes from cheesy tots to cookies, click HERE! As always, thanks for listening!
