This is it. The home stretch! The last week of school! Talent shows are over. Dance Recital done. Out-of-town guests OUT of OUR town.  Just one more week of school and it’s SUMMER VACATION!

And as excited as I have been to get this all over with…the routine, the homework, the daily grind, the end of the school year crunch…THE HORROR AND REALIZATION HAVE BEGUN TO SINK IN…

I will have to entertain a 7 year-old all day, every day for… 74 DAYS ?!  HOLY CRAP!

What are we gonna do? When am I gonna work? How am I gonna stay sane? And really, how many hours of television a day is okay before their brains start to turn to mush?

Okay. Just BREATHE.  We’re all in this together, right? You’re my Mammakazes and you won’t abandon me this summer, right? I’m counting on you to be there to help me through this. And I’ll be there for YOU! I promise.

This week on MAMMAKAZE:

1) Julia tells what’s on the menu of her life (YES, I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO VIDEO!)

2) A Deep Dark and Daring Confession of my Cleaning Habits (or Lack thereof)

3)  Uh…Other than that, I’m winging it! I’ll keep you posted with updates or, if you’re not on my mailing list, come back daily to see wassup!

Stay safe, stay sane.
