The school year is coming to a close, and kids everywhere are jumping for joy, but mothers are breathing a heavy sigh. As a child, summer represented everlasting free time, but now that you’re the mom it means all free time is lost. (Good luck getting your second grader to take a nap!) Plus the dreaded “Mom I’m bored!” cries are just a few days away.

We thought it might be a good time to introduce you to Project of the Month Club — designed to take the hassle out of arts and crafts projects. It is difficult to come up with creative project ideas, and honestly, who wants to go to the craft store with all the kids in tow? Instead they come up with the ideas, get you all the supplies, and send it over. At first glance the prices seem a bit steep, but considering that shipping is included, they are pretty close to what you would spend buying the supplies yourself.

With the kids taken care of, you may even have time for a project of your own — only we’re pretty sure you don’t need any help coming up with that one.
