35. 15 Summer Hacks to Rock the School Year Before it Starts
Manage episode 431151554 series 3554763
What if the best way to get ready for fall is to rest this summer? In this episode we challenge common expectations about productivity and laziness, making the case that rest is not a luxury but is foundational for being the happy, relaxed parent our children need.
We're sharing 15 ways we're making the most of summer's remaining weeks. Instead of working harder, we're trying to work softer, to focus on what really matters, and soak up some low-brow fiction and TV. We discuss practical ways to prepare for the onslaught of school forms and artwork that will soon be pouring in and share our best tips for making housework and meal prep easier come fall. Stay to the end to find out what Rebecca means when she recommends ordering pizza on your time too. Please join us!
