Simple Saturdays

When we think about being home with the kids for the summer there can be a lot to dread AND be excited about in this season.  I have found my way out of that mental overwhelm is to make a plan on what what I DO want my summer to be.  Over the years of planning our seasons as a family, we have developed an approach that helps us stay flexible, work around the hurdles and show up even on hard days.  I want to share the main points with you here.    This episode has a companion workbook that takes you step by step through planning out the summer that you and your family want to have.  Get your Summer on Purpose Workbook here.   Planning your days, as a mom I have found so much value in having a plan on what we will do. I started planning when I was home with my babies and have been loving the benefits ever since.  My kids even asked me to schedule their days for them during isolation, and I shared how that went here.    Why should a mom make a plan? To feel in control, rather than scramble for it last
