Summer is officially in full swing!
We hit the summer hard with late night swims and early morning fishing, a jam-packed week of VBS, playdates, popsicles, and lots of relaxing. We’ve enjoyed the change of pace and the warm Chicago weather, but if I’m honest, summer has felt a little frantic and its demands are catching up with me. Though I want to enjoy every minute the kids are on break, I have responsibilities and work that must be continued even amid the summer fun.
In an attempt to tame the wild and free days of summer, allowing for fun and function, my tendency is to gather every chore chart, summer planner, and kids’ schedule available. {My “summer” pinterest board gives evidence to that fact!}
But I also don’t want to over-regiment our summer, and I certainly don’t want to stuff our summer fun into a formula. The beauty of summer is the ability to kick back, live simply, and adventure together.
So how do we intentionally connect with our kids amid the responsibilities we juggle?
Two things help me intentionally connect with my kids during the carefree days of summer. Read about that over at For the Family!
