Balancing Work and Family This Summer

the Mudroom

Summer is around the corner and for many parents, that also means school is closed and the children are home. ☀️

It’s time to prepare.

You don’t want to wait until you’re 3 weeks into summer break and on the brink of losing your marbles before deciding to create a plan for what summer is going to look like for you and you’re family.

I’m not just talking about prepping for summer vacations either.

Since a lot of households involve both parents working (whether that’s at home or in the office), it can be tricky to navigate schedules, activities, and little ones wanting attention all while you’re trying to attend a Zoom meeting or get ready to leave in the morning for work.

Being a business owner myself, I spend the majority of my days working from home so I know from personal experience just how hectic that can get.

In this episode of the Mudroom and I’ll share:

• Some important things to keep in mind when you’re creating a schedule/routine for the summer

• How to create that schedule/routine but still be flexible enough for the changes of summer activities

• My hack for helping children keep track of summer camp activities and when you’re available (vs when you’re working)

• And a very important thing to make time for that most parents are tempted to overlook

Despite what all the parenting memes say about how horrible and stressful summer is with children home (not going to lie, some of them are funny), it doesn’t actually have to be that way.

It can be filled with fun, adventure, and even still stay productive. ⛱️
