Episode 041: How to cultivate a productive (and fun!) summer while the kids are home

Podcast Ep 041 website image.png

Friends, I have a confession to make: While I usually have a lot of my stuff together, last summer was a real wake up call for me. As a mama who always worked outside of the home, my first summer as a full time work-at-home mom was challenging. Summer (and any season changes in nature and our life) forces us to switch up our routines, for better or worse.

Today's episode is a discussion about how to cultivate a productive summer at home with the kids, while also having fun! There is no need to fall down the rabbit hole of chaos and distress during the summer months. Learn from my mistakes and let's grow together, mama!

WHAT YOU'LL HEAR TODAY:

  • How my first summer at home with the kids started with a lot of chaos and uncertainty and how I was able to quickly turn it around.
  • What it means to set boundaries for your children and home.
  • Why flexibility is key during the summer months.
  • The importance of a summer bucket list.
