Summer break is thisclose and if you’re anything like me, you're torn between dreaming of slow mornings and already dreading the snack raids and sibling fights. If you’re a mom trying to keep your house and your business from falling apart while everyone’s home 24/7... this episode is your pre-summer pep talk and planning session.

Today I’m sharing exactly how I’m prepping our home, mindset, and rhythms to make summer feel a little less chaotic and a lot more calm. From decluttering the “junk mail counter” to setting realistic expectations with my kids, I’m walking you through what I’m doing right now to make this season smoother.

PLUS... if you’re craving some extra support, you have to check out my upcoming summer workshop, Thriving Through Summer. It’s grace-filled, practical, and totally designed for moms like you.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How I reflect on what worked (and didn’t) last summer to prep this one

• The “overwhelm zones” I’m tackling before the kids are home full-time

• What’s in our summer stock-up stash (including swimsuits, sunscreen, and sanity-savers)

• The bucket list convo I have with my kids—and how we build a loose rhythm together

• Why it’s okay if you haven’t planned a thing yet (spoiler: I didn’t start until mid-June last year!)
