Prepping My Schedule for Summer

It’s been coming at me - the reminders that now is the time to get ready for summer, figure out how to balance work with the kids at home. Not to mention that summer is just naturally more of a laid back season online with everyone out enjoying the weather, the long daylight hours, warm summer nights. Oh, I can’t wait! But the reality has set in, and my planning can’t wait either.

Reality is…Batman (7) will be done with school on June 10th. I’ve already been looking into free/low cost options of things to do this summer - we’ll hit the library (even Batman’s school library will be open one morning a week), school playground is a nice walk away.

Reality is…I’m not going to have as many daytime hours to work as I do with only Robin at home. The two boys together are at least at an age that they can entertain each other at times. And each plays well on their own too. But I’m not going to want us to be staying home all day every day.

The challenge will be balancing work, play, and “sneaky academics”! LOL! I’m doing my research - WAHM blogs are a great source of ideas, esp. at this time of year as the reality sets in for all of us - GET READY, THE KIDS ARE COMING HOME!
