Summer's coming...a bit of thought now can save you weeks of chaos.
Create summer rhythms that help you balance fun AND real life responsibilities, so you can make make memories with your kids.
Summer feels so...romantic. Doesn't it?
We think of the warm weather, bright sunshine, and opportunities for lifetime memories.
We imagine everyone:
You start off strong, and then, before you know it, you're an exhausted shell of yourself because...
Chores and household responsibilities aren't getting done, even though there seems to be more time.
And the things you want to avoid (like too much screen time) ARE monopolizing your days.
You feel like a camp counselor, constantly trying to occupy the kids to fend off Boredom Fights.
You're chasing tornado children around the house trying to get them to calm down -- or at least pick up some toys.
I think we can agree...
...that we do NOT want these shenanigans happening all daggum day this summer:
Thankfully, you can avoid all that drama.
Introducing:
Create daily routines that balance fun and memory making with the responsibilities of daily life.
Our Summer Rhythms workshop will show you how to:
- BALANCE fun with productive days where everyone's needs are met.
-
Create a good mix of routines, chores and simple fun activities that don't require constant parent involvement.
-
Encourage independence, responsibility and cooperative sibling play.

If there's one thing that's true it's this...last summer was the best summer of our lives.
I FINALLY figured out how to create routines that balanced fun and memory making with the responsibilities of daily life. I spent too many of past summers counting down the days for it to end, piling on screen-time and hiding in the bathroom with chocolate.
This summer, we are beyond excited for a Summer Rhythms Repeat.
We are going for a balanced routine to meet everyone's needs AND build in anchor points throughout the week and weekend that make room for fun and connection.
Rachel Norman, A Mother Far From Home, and I are going to bring our best strategies as parent coaches, routine connoisseurs, and quasi-minimalist mothers to help you make memories in the simple things, get household responsibilities done (by everyone!), and create days that flow well.

Rejuvenating down time so everyone is refreshed, not sitting on a screen all day.
And we'd love to help you get there.
