We are in full swing of summer. And I haven’t adjust yet to figure out when my kids need my attention and when they don’t. (Take a look at tips to make routines work for you.)
This week, I’m putting a plan together, and we’re going to have fun! I’m really savoring this summer, as it seems that my kids are growing up way too fast and soon they’ll be off on their bikes to the pool every day and I’ll be forgotten. (They really won’t forget me, will they?)
A weekly plan to enjoy your summer with the kids!
I’ve chosen some of our favorite activities to do in the summer to do this week, to get outside and enjoy the days when we can!
