Hi everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. My kids still have until the 29th before they are done with school. Can you believe it? Sometimes it can be quite an adjustment having children home when we are used to them being gone all day. They take time and energy. We have to make lunches, take them places, find things for them to entertain themselves. I am very fortunate that my kids are at the age where they are more independent. We live in a subdivision with three streets with lots of kids. Sometimes they are outside for most of the day. Their cousins are coming for four days. I'm trying to pace myself to get ready. I don't want to overdo it but I still want to be a good hostess. It's hard at times trying to find that balance and not feel guilty.

What are you doing with your kids this summer? How are you finding balance to take care of yourself and your kids. Do you have any help? I would love to know.
