Local Blogs and Bloggers to Meet
Have you met these Newton bloggers? I pulled posts that evoked summer from many different points of view. Click around to find the best and safest sunscreens, get no-cook meal ideas, find books for your child’s summer reading homework, sign up your child for a boxing camp, get updates on the Red Sox, get ideas of places to take your kids, and more.
Did I leave anyone out? Please leave a comment if you live in Newton and want your blog to be included. Thanks!
I blog on children’s and young adult books, education and parenting. If you have a rising 2nd grader and, oops!, lost the summer homework, I post on it weekly. I also have summer reading lists for kids. Summer to me is a time to review math so there is no learning loss and read books with your kids for pleasure. I am enjoying most the unscheduled down time we have!

Anyone taking road trips? If you are a quilter, you’ll want to make a stop at NYC’s The City Quilter.
Ah, summer is a time to slow down and enjoy life’s little pleasures … like some outings outdoors to enjoy the gorgeous weather.

Krauss Dermatology
Two things to remember now that we are outdoors more this summer: sunscreen and ticks. Dr. Madeleine Krauss gives her favorite (and safest) sunscreens and advice on what to do if you’ve been bitten by a tick.
