Hello there,
At the beginning of this summer, I created a physical weekly calendar to tell us where everyone was week by week.
This week, the first half of the calendar was completed. And it made my 12 year old a little morose.
"Summer is already half over?" he asked.
Well, yes it is, but let's think about all we have done already.
Mission trip for one boy, staff training and camp for the girls, Kerfoot Zipline Tour for boys and dad and mom, camp for the other boy, conference for the girls, 4th of July trip, camp for the first boy, and a free week for the boys. Plus, don't forget we've played with neighbors and worked on the camper. If summer ended now, we could say it was incredible!
While summer may be half over, take stock of what it's been filled with already. If your summer has been full of plastic pool in the backyard and popsicles, that's the perfect summer. If your summer has been filled with screentime inside with the air conditioning, that's another summer memory. If your summer has been overly busy up until this point, you still have lots of time to take time to breathe.
Some of these hacks, I wholeheartedly endorse and some of them may be over the top (especially for those of us with kids)!
