How I did it
It made me
peaceful 
How I did it: I got a towel, laid down, waited until I knew my husband was supervising our kids, and dozed off under my hat on the sand. . . . it was the best nap ever! Read how I did it…
It made me
satisfied
How I did it: I bought an age-appropriate workbook for each child so they could do "homework" over the summer at their level. I did this to keep their interest up in education and to prepare them for school and it was a good idea that worked well.
