Making Summer Memories — Without Losing Your Mind

Published 21 days ago • 1 min read

​.​

Hi Reader,

How are you doing?

I don't know about you, but it feels like the summer has flown by. It's been busy and mainly good but quick nonetheless.

If you're trying to think of ideas to do with your kids to soak up the last part of summer, check out this blog post written by my husband about all the adventures he does with our boys on Daddy Sunday/Son-Day. (I get Sundays off and he's with the boys, it's great.)

He wrote this a few years ago but they still partake in most of these activities. The best of all is most of these are free!

Family Adventures with Little Kids

Fun family adventures create wonderful memories that last a lifetime. Here are several ideas on how to plan family adventures with your kids for lasting memories.

Have a great week!!

. Hi Reader, I can't believe summer is almost over, can you? Here in Minnesota most schools haven't started yet but I hear some local districts are starting next week already, which seems so early. Our kids' online school doesn't start until after Labor Day, which is nice. I realize though that much of the schools around the country have already started! If that's you, I hope it's going well so far. I'm a little nervous for the first week or so back. Sure, they're enrolled in the same...

Healthy Relationship Tips: Scheduling Time Together and Apart

. Hi Reader, How are you doing? My husband and I just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary over the weekend. We kept things low key but had a nice time. It's nice that our kids are the ages that they can be downstairs watching a football game on TV while we spend a couple hours chatting and working on a craft project together he came up with. We even dressed up, which doesn't happen often! Of course, after a couple hours the kids started fighting and we had to break them up BUT it was...

Yet...I still feel like I'm not gaining much traction any aspect of my life. If you are feeling that way, or have in the past, I just want you to know you're not...
