School's Out For Summer!
So how are all my stay at home moms doing now that school's out for summer?!! 🤣 It's been a full week since all 3 of mine have been home and I'm still not completely adjusted to it just yet. It took all of 3 days for the "I'm so bored" and the "there's nothing to do" to kick in. So the other day I sat down with Gavin, Lillian, and EllyKay and asked them to give me some ideas of what they would like to do over summer break.
They gave me loads of stuff to do. And by writing them down I'll have a better idea of how to schedule certain activities. Some of them were definitely a lot more expensive than others. However, there are a few that aren't very expensive at all. I just thought I'd share them with yall!

I'm not sure if we will do all of these things, but at least I have a list 📝 that I can reference back to, if need be! I have started to implement somewhat of a schedule though. For those moms who don't have a schedule 🗓, you NEED a schedule, or at least some type of guideline. Before I became a stay at home mom, I was a preschool 🧮 👩🏼🏫 teacher, and I would have lost my mind without a schedule.
As of now our schedule is pretty simple. I allow them the sleep in, because you never wake a sleeping baby (no matter the age!!🤣🤣) They have a nutritious breakfast that consists of pop-tarts or cereal 😂 We do a devotional from their kid devotional books. Then we do a 10 minute speed clean. I do let them have their tablets for about an hour or so, and around 11am I start prepping lunch. After we eat lunch, we go out to the pool for a couple hours. Then we go back in the house for a small snack and a nap, or quiet time for Gavin. After naptime is over, I let them have their tablets til we head to the gym for Zumba (zumba is for me!). When we leave the gym we either go back home or run to Walmart if we're needing anything for dinner. Once we're home, I cook, we eat dinner, get them bathed, and in bed by 9pm. Lol and that's what we've been doing for the past week! So I'm hoping to be able to do some of the things that they're wanting to do sometime soon.
I hope today's post gave y'all some inspiration with your own children, for this Summer! I love you guys, and thank you so much for just being here!!
