As Summer Ends

As summer is ending, I want to remind you that it isn’t over until September 21st! There is still time for some summer fun – even when the kids go back to school.

Amusement parks, beaches, parks, pools, etc. are still open.

If there is something that you still want to do this summer, then make it happen. Make the plans!

I remind myself every year that just because the kids are going back to school, that doesn’t mean the fun and plans stop.

I also want you to reflect and smile on the summer that you have been having. This is not an invitation to beat yourself up for what you didn’t do. This is a gentle reminder to be kind, warm and wonderful to yourself and how you show up as a mother.

Did you have goals for the summer? Did you accomplish them?

Do you have goals for the Fall? Have you thought about this?

As we enter the end of August, this is the perfect time to make one final small summer goal and one Fall goal for yourself or your family.

Good luck doing all the back to school things that need to be done. Take it one thing at a time. Enjoy the rest of your summer and have a wonderful week.
