EDITOR

NOTE

FROM THE EDITOR Summer break is almost over, and our kids will be returning to school soon. With the heat index high and the pressure of your “to do” list even higher, we’ve decided to focus on simplicity this month in The Grand Season Family.

I have personally been challenged by this month’s theme, and Hans Hofmann’s quote resonates with me: The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary, so that the necessary may speak. As I shift from the mode of crossing off the summer fun list, and transition to preparing for school, I admit it’s easy to lose sight of the things that truly need my attention.

Right now, my sons need my attention more than ever as they seek insights about their futures, and are looking for answers on how I can support them as they move closer toward independence.

Contents

I know the transition from the relaxation of summer back to the structure of the school year can be challenging, but it’s my hope we can encourage you to approach the chaos in your life with confidence.

Thank you for your continued support of The Grand Season Family. Please connect with our advertisers as you look for ways to get your “to do” list done in preparation for the new school year.

Make the most of what’s left of summer and hopefully by simplifying a few areas of your life, you’ll enjoy the next season even more.

Until next month, Melissa Cox Melissa@thegrandseason.com Editorial Director

GROWTH

START WITH WHY Think about what drives you Do you want to live a simpler life? What do you crave about it? Why are you interested in creating a slower life? The best way to make progress when you desire to change your habits is to know the answers before you start. If you’re truly motivated to make lasting change, grab a notebook and start brainstorming.

Write down your goals What do you want from this change?

Where do you feel the greatest need to slow down and simplify? What do you stand to gain?

Write down your strengths Think about what you are good at.

Write down your weaknesses What challenges will you face? What circumstances will make change harder for you?

Evaluate your answers Make sure you’re changing for the right reasons. You need to understand that your journey won’t look like anyone else’s.

Go for it Committing goals to paper helps you achieve them. Keep your notes in a convenient place so when you face challenges you can remind yourself of your WHY. After you’ve established your why, you need to accept your current circumstances, limitations, strengths and weaknesses. If you don’t start out from a place of acceptance, then the work you’ve put in to creating a simpler, slower life will be overshadowed by feelings of inadequacy, guilt and comparison.

Remember, simplifying your life is not a sprint—it’s a marathon.

LIFE

A simple life has a different meaning and value for every person. For some, it means eliminating all but the essential, eschewing chaos for peace, and spending time doing what’s important to them. For others, it may mean getting rid of the things you do so you can spend time with people you love and do the things you love.

While you may be motivated to simplify life, keep in mind that the road to simplicity isn’t always simple. There is no step-by-step guide, but we’ve compiled a list of ideas that may help you get started. Use the list on page 12 as a launch pad to brainstorm a strategy that fits your life.

YOU

SLOW DOWN Focus on what’s important

As technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, you’d think these changes would simplify our lives. Instead, our lives have become increasingly complex, stressed and sometimes overwhelming.

Before you become discouraged, try to incorporate a few of these ideas to simplify your life.

1. Slow down

Have you ever noticed that when you get sick and are forced to slow down, you see things you didn’t when you were in the frenetic blur of life? Slowing down fosters mental clarity.

4. Ask for help

Nobody can be a mom or dad superhero all the time. Some days we just need help. Give yourself permission to ask. Reach out to a friend, relative or your own kids for help cleaning the house or walking the dog. If you need a break, speak up and ask for help.

KIDS

BRAIN DRAIN

Keep your kids fresh for school

It’s only natural that kids get excited for summer vacation. Parents may be concerned about summer “brain drain,” which occurs when students lose the knowledge they gained during the school year.

Unfortunately, many children show learning losses when they return to school in the fall. According to RAND research, these summer setbacks are cumulative, resulting in increasing levels of learning loss over time.

“Parents can keep minds sharp by creating fun summer learning opportunities at home,” says Dr. Clement Chau.

To help families avoid summer setbacks, Chau suggests the following ideas:

Visit the library

Many libraries offer summer reading challenges, which can prove to be great motivation to crack open a book. Enlist the expertise of librarians to help children find titles they’ll enjoy.

Learn about a new topic

Has your child been collecting rocks when playing outdoors? Does he or she like to point out different shapes of clouds in the sky? Encourage children to research and learn more about the subjects that fascinate them. If they are passionate about a topic, they’ll be more likely to seek out more information.

Set aside required reading time

On average, children who read more than 20 minutes a day scored above the 90th percentile on standardized reading tests, and reading just six books during the summer can keep your child’s reading ability stable.

Use teachable moments

Going to a baseball game? Show your child how to calculate a batting average or a pitcher’s ERA. Making dinner? Let your child measure the ingredients. Clipping coupons? Show your child how much money will be saved in your grocery budget. Going on a road trip? Look up some fun facts about the different states you’ll see on license plates.

HEALTH

BEAT THE HEAT Keep your family healthy

Summer can be hot, sticky and downright uncomfortable. It can also be dangerous if you are not prepared.

Cope with the heat this summer and stay healthy and safe with these helpful tips.

Maintain your air conditioner The last thing you need is a broken air conditioner on a hot day.

Regular maintenance of your unit can help ensure it will work all summer long. The easiest maintenance task you can perform yourself is to clean or change the filter routinely.

Dress appropriately During the summer, lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing can make all the difference to your comfort. The less fabric you have actually touching your body, the cooler you will be.

Always wear sunscreen Avoid sunburns by always wearing sunscreen. While there are varying opinions on the ideal strength to use, it’s important to make sure everyone has it on when they’re at the pool, taking a walk, gardening or playing outside.

Schedule activities carefully During periods of intense heat, stay indoors and remain in an air-conditioned location (if possible). Limit your outdoor activities to morning and evening hours when it’s cooler.

Stay hydrated Summer fun often means being outdoors, but listen to your body and take breaks to rest, rehydrate and cool off. Bring water or a sports drink when you are exercising, at the pool or even just running errands.

After spending time in the heat, if anyone in your family becomes irritated, quiet, confused, listless, tired or throws up, seek medical attention immediately.

MONEY

Simplify your financial life Recently I was asked, “Are you working for your money, or is your money working for you?” This question has stayed on my mind as I work hard to provide for my family.

Researchers, financial analysts and counselors all say that each of us has our own relationship with money. Here are some ideas on how you can put your money to work for you.

Prioritize one goal at a time The average person seems to be paying down debt, building an emergency fund, saving for retirement and saving for future events at the same time. Try focusing your intensity on one goal at a time.

Budget using last month’s income This popular budgeting tool is effective for a couple of reasons. First, it implies that you’re a month ahead of your bills. Second, it solves the problem of budgeting for irregular income.

Use cash Try adopting cash for your discretionary spending. The key to cash is to make the process as intimate as possible.

Fund an emergency fund This is most important for peace of mind, having a savings account for the unexpected event will reduce stess.

Outsource tasks The truth is that learning the skills to be self-sufficient takes time and practice. Some people are better off focusing their attention on tasks that offer more value.

Get rid of two items for every one you buy Once you’ve simplified your consumption habits, it’s important to take measures to maintain them. Adopting this policy will help control your spending, encourage you to borrow items before you buy them, and shift your focus from possessions onto experiences.

The fundamental rules for human interaction—kindness, fairness and respect—are taught to us as young children. Unfortunately, many of these lessons are forgotten (or unlearned) by the time we reach adulthood.

Treating others the way we’d like to be treated seems simple enough … until we have to do it every day. But what makes the “Golden Rule” golden is it’s simple genius.

Relationships aren’t rocket science, but they do call for the same level of patience and dedication. Since most of us haven’t visited a grade school in years, here’s a quick refresher on how to treat your spouse in a way that helps your marriage go the distance.

1. Be kind (not nice) Most of the lessons our kindergarten teachers drill into us as children are also useful in our adult relationships.

But niceness is one rule that can actually backfire in a romantic relationship. Some partners can (however wrongly) interpret niceness as weakness. Moreover, niceness is often insincere—it is a coping mechanism taught to us as children to help us deal with people we don’t really like.

True kindness, by contrast, doesn’t condescend or pretend. Kindness looks to the core worth of another person and responds accordingly. Kindness doesn’t mean avoiding conflict or even always “playing nice”—it just means processing through issues with a sincere respect for your spouse’s feelings and humanity.

2. Be sexually generous Marriage is not an excuse to be a sexual slacker. When you put your spouse’s sexual needs first, your own are likely to be satisfied as well. If for some reason your needs continue to be unmet, don’t just seethe about it—

communicate with your spouse. Affirm your love for him or her while helping them understand what makes you feel loved.

3. Be there Your presence, both physical and emotional, is critical to the survival of your relationship. Try to be present in the moment and to be sensitive to your spouse’s emotional state. Really listen when your spouse speaks. If your job or other obligations routinely keep you away from your spouse, take a hard look at your options and determine what is best for the overall health of your marriage.

4. Be grateful Before you rush to judge, take a step back and remember what you have in your partner. Is he or she loyal, considerate or kind? What flaws of yours does your spouse patiently endure?

5. Be helpful You shouldn’t be helpful just for the sake of getting what you want. But you’d be surprised at how often helping your partner out—especially when he or she is stressed—can yield the kind of response you crave most.

If you feel shortchanged on affection, communication or time, try being more helpful. It’s not a magic formula guaranteed to bring results, but it can help improve your spouse’s mood, and by extension, your relationship.

6. Don’t over-romanticize Drop your delusions of story book love, and see how much room it frees up for real love.

7. Don’t over-dramatize Some people thrive on drama. If you are one of those people, you are bound to be disappointed by any healthy relationship. Where no drama exists, drama-addicts will find ways to provoke or manufacture it.

www.grandseasonfamily.com

8. Don’t nag or nitpick You may think your “constructive” criticism or helpful reminders will help mold your spouse into your idealized man or woman. More likely, it will just wear them out. You may or may not get what you want … and you are likely to something you didn’t want: resentment.

9. Don’t lose focus We live in a hyper-saturated, hyperstimulated world. Beauty is distorted, augmented and airbrushed. Willing

sexual partners are around every dance club corner. Pornography is ubiquitous. Destructive behaviors are exaggerated (and glamorized) by “reality” shows. It seems like everyone is misbehaving and if you aren’t, you must be missing out. But the desire for meaningful relationships is at the core of the human heart. You can try to take the shortcut to this kind of happiness by responding to every enticement that comes your way. Or you can choose to focus on a real relationship, and enjoy the enduring pleasures such a relationship provides.

10. Don’t be selfish It sounds simple enough. But selfishness underlies most of our broken relationships—and it is a hard habit to break. Selfishness can take many forms: financial, behavioral, emotional or sexual. We all fall victim to selfishness from time to time, but chronic selfishness can do lasting damage to a relationship.

Selfishness presents itself as a way to secure your own happiness, but most of the time, it actually erodes it.

CELEBRATE

TIME TO PARTY

Hosting a great outdoor party

Throwing the perfect party outdoors requires a bit of precision. Here are some great ways to keep guests happy, comfortable and entertained: KEEP BUGS AWAY You can keep bugs at bay naturally with a bit of strategic gardening. Plants that ward off bugs include lavender, marigolds and rosemary. Plant these varieties in and around areas where you entertain guests.

PREPARE THE PLAYLIST Have guests request a few of their favorites to create a playlist that everyone enjoys, or use a streaming app. To keep the music playing, use waterproof bluetooth speakers.

CREATE AMPLE SEATING Depending on the number of guests you are expecting, you may need to increase your seat count.

Rent additional tables and chairs, or take a trip to a local secondhand shop and give used outdoor

furniture some love with a makeover. Benches work well in a pinch, too!

PLAY GAMES Regardless of the age of the attendees, make sure to have games on hand. There are so many great outdoor games for adults at your local big box store—corn hole and horseshoes are sure to entertain guests of all ages. If kids are attending, you may want to set up some games to keep them occupied. Sidewalk chalk and bubbles can create hours of enjoyment, or you might think big and rent an inflatable.

CREATE AMBIENCE Street lights, hurricane lanterns or tea lights create a warm and inviting ambience. Use lighting both to stylishly set the mood and allow the party to continue even after the sun goes down.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”

FRESH

FRESH FUN Make dessert with your kids

WATERMELON AND BERRY PIZZA

(Serves 6)

Ingredients

Have your kids help you prepare this guilt-free, ridiculously simple and naturally sweet “pizza style” version of everyone’s favorite locally grown foods—tasty watermelon and lots of berries. There are a few things in common with the pizza idea ... well, actually only two. The dessert presentation is round, and it has lots of tempting healthy, fresh toppings.

12 Raspberries or strawberries halved 6 mint leaves chopped 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar 1 large watermelon slice (1 inch or more thick), 10 inches in diameter 6 ounces natural lemon-flavored yogurt (or 3 ounces creme fraiche) 1/2 cup blueberries Directions

1. In a small bowl, drizzle balsamic vinegar over the strawberries, and stir. Set aside.

2. Let your junior chef wash and dry the whole watermelon. An adult should slice a 10-inch round at the center portion and set on a serving plate. (If your watermelon is smaller or larger, cut the widest portion for this dessert and adjust quantities.)

3. Evenly cut the slice into sixths. Push the cut triangles tightly together on the plate.

4. Ask your child to spread the yogurt or creme fraiche over the round.

5. Spoon the strawberries and blueberries over the yogurt. Serve slices on a dessert plate.

Alternative Ideas

Plus, there’s the wow factor when your kids proudly carry their work of culinary creativity to the table at an informal supper with your family and friends. They’ll be so proud.

The Grand Season family

August 2017

• Instead of using yogurt or creme fraiche, whip up a half cup of heavy cream with a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and a teaspoon of sugar, or whip cream with two teaspoons of honey.

• Fresh sliced peaches, nectarines and plums also are welcome add-ons to the dessert.

HOME

SIMPLE MAKEOVERS 5 ways to update any room

Does a room in your home need an update? There are a range of projects from large to small that can help you transform any space for maximum utility and better design. Here are four great ideas:

Update flooring

When updating your home flooring, consider some hot new trends-like turning a salvaged vintage lumber.

More homeowners are including this in their remodel plans because it looks great, gives your home a mark of distinction, and is eco-friendly.

Make something old new again

Turn an antique piece of furniture into something new. Paint chair legs a bright color, decoupage a tabletop or reupholster a loveseat in a favorite fabric. Don’t have an existing piece of furniture? Hit up local yard sales or antique shops in search of the perfect find. For inspiration, visit pinterest.com.

Modernize the fireplace

An older wood fireplace can be dirty, drafty, high maintenance. Consider updating your hearth with a gas fireplace insert for an upgrade that can give you a return on your investment and beautify your space.

Create a statement wall

Sometimes less really is more, particularly when it comes to walls. Consider painting or papering just one wall of your room in a bold, bright color or design. This same wall may also serve as a gallery to feature smaller artwork, photographs, clocks and other keepsakes.

DIFFERENT TV ANTENNAS TO BE AWARE OF

Many of these types of antennas offer poor or marginal reception in our area.

We offer a Quality Attic or Roof Top Antenna that I personally use in Surprise, Arizona and I’m getting over 80 HD/Digital channels. This one antenna can be hooked up to multiple TV’s!!

It’s time to stop paying the High Ridiculous $$ for TV service and cut the cord (we can also help you with streaming TV to get even more channels).

Call us before you buy your next TV or Sound System or you’ll probably overpay!
