Unplugged Fun: 75 Ideas From ‘Best Mom Rockford’ To Keep Kids Engaged

The clock is ticking, summer is coming... are you ready for three months with your kids? Rockford Mom Erin Strum is helping you prep with her new book. 

We are a little over a month away from your kids getting out of school for the summer and I bet you're already wondering how you're going to entertain them throughout June, July and August.

Being a kid just isn't the same as it was way back when... yes there were a ton of great moms coming up with fun things for us to do in the 1990s, but we also had an easier time just coming up with something to do ourselves, technology wasn't taking over our lives.
