Are your kids constantly complaining they’re bored—or spending all day glued to screens?
You are not alone, friend. Summer can quickly turn into a battle of whining, messes, and mental overload if you don’t have a loose plan in place.
That’s why in this episode, I’m sharing what I’m doing to survive summer with my own kids—and how you can take back some sanity, too.
We’ll talk about:
Why boredom is actually good for kids—and how it fuels creativity
How to set clear screen time boundaries without fighting every day
The importance of leaving kids alone (yep, really!) to figure out their own fun
Simple outdoor activities and games to keep on hand for easy entertainment
Why having a stocked snack bin and an open door for friends makes life easier
How messes are part of the process—and why your home systems matter
A practical checklist your kids can use to earn their screen time each day
This episode is full of real-life ideas and encouragement to help you lead your family well—without losing your mind in the process.
Let’s make this summer one that’s fun, peaceful, and just structured enough to work.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
