MAGICAL MOMENTS WITHOUT THE HASSLE
3 Parenting Hacks To Help Make Summer Memorable
plan to use. Consider these top suggestions
from respondents.
Allow More Flexibility
with Children’s Routines
Summer offers a welcome break from the
rigid schedules of the school year, and nearly
half of respondents (45%) are embracing
that opportunity by allowing more flexibility
in their children’s routines. This might include
later bedtimes, slower mornings or less
structured playtime, giving families more
room to explore, be creative and enjoy spontaneous
adventures - the type that many parents
remember from their own childhoods.
Prioritize Fun Over Perfection
The pressure to create a picture-perfect summer
can become overwhelming. Instead of
striving for elaborate vacations or curated
calendars, 39% of parents said they plan to
be more lenient with the expectations they
place on themselves. This “fun over perfection”
mindset allows families to focus on
connection as parents spend less time worrying
about details and more time enjoying
simple pleasures from picnics and pool time
to game nights at home.
Plan Simpler Meals
One-third of respondents plan to make simpler
meals a regular part of their menu, and the majority
of parents (84%) said they rely on quick,
reliable meal and snack solutions like mac and
cheese, deli meat wraps and simple cheese and
cracker boards at least once per week during
summer months. That’s why Borden Cheese
Individually Wrapped Singles are unwrapping
the simple, stress-free summer that parents
need with family-friendly recipes, easy meal
hacks and nostalgia-inducing weekly giveaways
designed to give them a well-deserved
break. So relax your expectations, embrace
the mess and make space for real, carefree fun
again. Visit BordenCheese.com/SimpleSummerFun
