1. Send the kids to school after a great breakfast

Get the kids ready to learn at school by feeding them a nutritious breakfast. No better time to start than September, which is Better Breakfast Month. Need ideas? Check out these four nutritious, easy, and delicious breakfast ideas. Sept. 1-30

2. Adopt a pet ... rock 

Do your kids bring a pocketful of rocks home from every outing? Or is that just our kid? If it's your kid too, have them pick a favorite to be their new "Pet Rock." Then invite the Pet Rock to spend the whole day with you — including mealtimes and bedtime! — on Pet Rock Day. Sept. 4
