How to plan an Intentional Summer

Can you believe that summer is right around the corner?

When I was growing up, I loved summer. The days full of swimming at my best friend’s house, all the books I got to read, the late nights and the fireworks and the family time.

Summer was good times.

As a mom, I look back at the summers of my growing up years and see a stark difference between how I spent my childhood and how my kids could be spending theirs.

When I was young, there were no kindles. No iPads. No toddlers with cell phones.

We played outside. We rode bikes. We started card games at the kitchen table after dinner. We talked and made popcorn and spent hours putting together puzzles or attempting to finish another never-ending game of monopoly.

Summer is coming, friends. 

And I don’t want my kids to waste their summers with their eyes glued to a screen.

And if I’m honest, I don’t want MY eyes glued to a screen all summer, either.

(We’ve all done enough of that over the last couple of years, and I’m over it.)

I want an Intentional Summer for our whole family.

I want to figure out what matters to us this summer, and make space for it.

I want to spend time connecting with my people instead of connecting to the internet.

I want to slow down and do things that fill my soul, and I want my family members to be able to do the same.

We only have a few weeks together, where I get to have both of my kids home with me all day every day (without schoolwork to do!), and I want to make the most of every single day.

Don’t you want that, too?

I think we can do it. 

I think we can have an Intentional Summer, full of adventures and creative play and late night card games and laughter-filled family time and meaningful memories.

But I know it will take a bit of planning. A bit of forethought. And maybe a massive resource complete with things to do and books to read and places to go.

And that’s where I’ve got us all covered.
