Go see a matinee

Turn off your phone and take a weekday afternoon to go see a movie. 

+ It's cheaper than at night-time

Send many gifts

Send gifts to your nephews and nieces.

Stickers and money work best.

They will love you best and the positive feedback is worth more than all the money in the world.

It's OK, you'll work out an extra 4 minutes tomorrow. 

You'll live.

Make sure your kids know their grandparents.

Even if you have to eat crow to make it happen. (And you will).

Always be prepared

Nap time's going to end at some point. 

Make sure you're ready.
