'We don’t need to worry about creating a summer schedule and planning out 10 million activities for our kids and hosting backyard barbeques and filling every minute with play dates.'
I am terrified of summer.
The prospect of having four kids home with me, keeping up all my work hours, and facing the inevitable long, deathly hot days with kids who no longer nap and will require approximately eight hours of snacks a day is like something out of a nightmare. I am so ready for school and homework and pick-ups to be done, but this year, I already have a love-hate relationship with summer.
Which is to just say, mamas, that we need to take it down a notch. We don’t need to worry about creating a summer “schedule” and planning out 10 million activities for our kids and hosting backyard barbeques and filling every minute with play dates. If you want to create lasting summer memories for your kids, just throw some pillows on the floor, switch on the fan, and maybe toss some books their way.
