What “going with the flow” taught me about summer…
A few summers ago, I decided not to plan a thing.
I was tired. Life had felt heavy. And the thought of making one more list – even a fun one! – felt like too much. So I just… didn’t. We were gonna go with the flow. Be spontaneous. Let the days unfold naturally. (Can you already tell where this is going? From your very non-spontaneous friend?!)
I’m sure you can guess what happened by week 2: Everything started going off the rails a bit.
The kids were “bored” and bickering. They kept asking for more screen time which only made the bickering WORSE. And I wasn’t very relaxed myself – trying to fit in work hours into the lack of schedule. I found myself scrambling for structure I hadn’t prepared for — and feeling a little defeated by 10 a.m. most days.
That’s when I learned something important: Intentional doesn’t have to mean rigid.
Intentional just means choosing what matters ahead of time, so you actually make space for it.
And THAT, my friends, is exactly why I created the Summer Planning Pack.
It’s not about packing your schedule full or forcing your family into a color-coded routine. It’s about lightly steering your days toward the things you care most about — fun, rest, connection, creativity!
There’s room in here for lazy mornings and lake days. Movie marathons and memory-making. The plan is totally yours to create — this just gives you a peaceful place to start.

It’ll help you figure out what you really want from this season — and how to gently shape your summer around it.
We can still go with the flow. Let’s just give that flow a purpose!
P.S. If you want even more help planning your summer, we’re hosting a Summer Planning Workshop on May 31st, and we’d love to have you join us! Get all the info here >>>
