Summer Manifesto

[...] I love this summer manifesto [...]

Our fanily has four and a half days of school left and making summer goals has been swarming in my head! I want to sit my kids down and make a list of our summer desires, as well as what has to get done (such as laundry). My thought is that my 12 & 10 year olds can understand the need to work hard a little each day so we can play hard each day :)Hopefully their willingness will rub off on my 8 & 5 year olds! I think making it into a manifesto is a great idea and will bring anticipation. Thanks for the encouragement, I will let you know what we come up with.

I was just reviewing my calendar to see what days/weekends I can try to plan some fun activities. Working full-time tends to suck up all the "fun" of it being summer so I had already decided to make time for that "fun". So I have scheduled a SB retreat for the end of June, signed up for some workshops Donna Downey will be teaching here, waiting to hear what week my sister and her family are coming from SC to visit, and figuring out how many trips to the coast I can reasonably make, even if it's just for the day. Of course, I do also have to factor in finding a new apartment and packing/moving by the end of July. And that makes it all the more necessary to have FUN!

[...] Ali shared her summer goals in her blog. I loved the idea of putting summer goals in a list (I’m a sucker for lists). [...]

You've inspired me to make a list of my own . . .

Oops...I put the wrong link at first so I had to put another one. NOt sure how to delete. I can't wait to finish my list! Great idea ♥
