We have many more great ideas for features to make remembering and registration a LOT easier, coming soon. and create calendar reminders for camps with upcoming registration dates save favorites and share them with friends to coordinate search for activities based on all the criteria you need to know (drop off and pick up times, cancellation policies, all the stuff buried deep in the camp websites) Then of course we'll gear up for the dreaded summer camp signups! Today, you can We’re starting in the Twin Cities with Fall MEA Break Camps in October - YES THESE ARE REGISTERING NOW! We’re starting to add other fall and winter No School Days and will be soon expanding to Fall and Winter sports leagues. Today I’m launching our Beta site for my new company, Camperoni ( At Camperoni, our mission is to make managing kids’ sports, activities and camps more manageable 🎉. And it gave me an idea… so I’m not on sabbatical any more 🤷♀️. So when I decided to take a sabbatical this year, I was surprised (but not really) by how BUSY I still was. It’s important, but it’s also exhausting, not glamorous when I get it right, and often heartbreaking when I make a mistake. I’m always looking 2+ months ahead, scanning the horizon of family needs, and trying to not drop the ball. That the kids will need new cleats for soccer this year, and I'd better order them to get here on time. Remembering that summer camp enrollment starts in November. But mostly, I’m the parent responsible for REMEMBERING. I fill out all the forms, RSVP for the birthday parties, and sign up for the sports leagues, camps and after-school activities. I’m the parent who schedules doctors’ appointments, and enrolls the kids in school. Raise your hand if you are the Family Admin. And again, in the words of Bluey, "The power of a good hug should never be underrated.” So if you didn’t have the chalkboard sign, the photos are a day (or two) late, the kid’s cried at the end of the day…you know what, it is all good because that is what life really is and we got this, we really do!Ĭheers to everyone on this first/second week of school for so many of us. Parents sitting in meetings after the bus rolls away thinking.hoping that their kid sits next to someone who smiles at them, that they eat anything at lunch, that the school doesn't call and who are sifting through the explosion of email and activities that have entered our inboxes and calendars. Parents who crushed it by ordering the 3 red folders and 2 green ones before they sold out, parents who drove after their kid missed the bus, who gave a lot of hugs as their kids experienced all of the emotions in the span of 5 minutes, and parents who are doing the best they can.
Behind all of these pictures are us, the parents.
I've also come to realize that there's a lot those photos do not show. The photos are adorable - filled with possibility and pride and I am here for it. What Staples iconically called, "the most wonderful time of year."Ī time when our social feeds light up with smiling faces of children holding signs proudly declaring their first day.
