(BPT) - Have you heard about Maycember? If you're a parent, you've probably lived it — even if the name's new to you. Maycember is that hectic, stressful period at the end of the school year filled with final projects, back-to-back events and the scramble to prepare for summer. Suddenly, you're juggling camp sign-ups, childcare logistics — all while still in school-year mode.
