I have been thinking this week regarding our plans for Summer.

My goals this year are to do better about providing unplugged activities for my kids. It is very easy in today’s world to get distracted and simply let the electronic’s babysit while the adults also get things done.

Last year I felt really great about the intentional time that I was able to spend with my kids, you can read about some of our excursions in my blog about traveling with kids, and family time. 

How organized is your home?

My husband and I have struggled for the past 10 years with a routine and organization that works in our home. We have tried everything from hand-written to do lists, online apps, sticky notes, and even hand drawn organizational diagrams.

Each time we tried again, our frustration with ourselves renewed; we tried to focus on the ideal of a better way.  Each and every time we failed.  Sometimes, it would work for a day.  Occasionally, it would work for nearly two weeks.  In spite of our best intentions, we could never create the routines or habits needed for continued success.  Something wouldn’t get written down, not checked off out list,  or a kid would get sick.  Anything and everything would side-track us and derail our progress.

This spring break I will have the opportunity to be more family focused and spend more quality time with my kids. I am so thankful for the opportunities that God has brought into my life that has opened this new door.

If you have time this week, give me a call, maybe you can join me and my kids for a quick hike, a bite of ice cream or we can join you!

How are you spending your spring break with your family?

Working through building on new things through the website and learning new things has me spinning around. Trying to maintain organization is important to continue my forward motion.
That is where self-care comes in.
