Keeping teens busy in the summer isn’t easy - especially when they're 13, 14, 15, and 16. In this episode of Rollin' With the Dolans, we talk about the summer challenge we gave our kids: planning meals, shopping with a cash budget, and cooking for the whole family.

It’s part budgeting lesson, part kitchen chaos, and a whole lot of parenting realness. We share what worked, what didn’t, and why we think this kind of hands-on responsibility matters. We also touch on staying active during the Arizona heat and how we’re trying to keep four teens off the couch (and off their phones).
