Here's a recent idea I had.
Are any of you like me and spending A LOT of time in your car? Even using Dallin H. Oaks' "Good, Better, Best" guide, I still spend a lot of time running around doing the things our family has deemed "Best" activities (school, cub scouts, activity days, piano lessons). At $125 a week (that's my weekly gas bill now!), I felt prompted to start spending that car time a lot more wisely. Thus, I came up with "school on wheels." I purchased several different levels of flashcards (to accommodate the different math skills of my 4 children), I checked out from the library Spanish CDs, and printed off spelling words. All these things fit nicely inside the center console next to the driver's seat. Now, whenever we head out I can just grab one of our little tasks and not feel so guilty about all that time, and money, we're spending on the road.

Carolyn - Fabulous idea!!!!!! Should keep things fun and worth that $125 a week. No summer wasting minds at your house/car!!!!
Such a good idea!! You can also listen to conference talks or EFY youth talks. A mind and time is a terrible thing to waste. :)
Great idea. We have done family scripture study in the car before and it's the way to go.
We came back from Brazil motivated to help the kids learn another langauge. Maybe I should get some portugues CDs for the car.
