This episode is brought to you by Houston Angels, supporting the over 2000 children and youth in foster care in the Houston area!

Jenny & Ashley are chatting about their favorite thing… QUIET TIME! As summer rapidly approaches, we think it’s important to incorporate a little quiet time into our busy schedules, to give us time to relax, regroup and tap into our thoughts and creativity.
It’s not a punishment, it’s actually a bit of a reward! To be alone, with a little peace and quiet, without anyone pestering you, should be a welcomed experience, but we totally understand why it might not be for little ones. If your kiddos have a hard time relaxing alone, a cube timer might help them count down the time with ease.
Magnatiles are a great activity for busy minds as they enjoy some time alone. They can explore their imaginations and create all kinds of incredible structures and shapes!
We hope our tips help you schedule some quiet time within your summer fun!
