Summer brings big changes for Christian mamas, whether your kids are home from school or you’re switching up your homeschool routine. In this episode, Natalie shares how to navigate the summer schedule transition with grace and find peace in the chaos. With practical tips and biblical encouragement, you’ll learn how to embrace a messier home, lighten your schedule, and slow down to savor simple moments with your kids. Natalie also shares a personal story about letting her kids’ LEGOs take over the dining room and offers her Trigger Tracker to help you manage those trigger-y summer moments. Tune in to discover how to make this summer joyful and restful, leaning on God’s promise of rest.

Key Points

  • Understand the Summer Shift: Whether your kids are home from school or you’re adjusting homeschool routines, summer can feel chaotic. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, but you can reframe this season as a gift to slow down and connect with your kids.
  • Practical Tips for a Slower Summer:
    1. Embrace a Messier Home: Let go of the pressure for a spotless house. Try a 15-minute daily “reset” with your kids and remember that messes are signs of your blessings (Psalm 127:3).
    2. Lighten the Schedule: Avoid overpacking with activities. Choose 1-2 meaningful outings per week and leave room for spontaneity (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
    3. Build Simple Connection Moments: Prioritize presence with low-effort activities like reading or a backyard picnic. Use everyday moments to share God’s love (Deuteronomy 6:7).
    4. Protect Your Peace: Watch for triggers of anger or overwhelm. Pause to pray and use the Trigger Tracker to respond with grace (Matthew 11:28).
  • Personal Story: Natalie shares how letting her kids’ LEGOs take over the dining room one summer helped her embrace the mess and find joy in the moment.
  • Biblical Encouragement: Lean on God’s promise of rest in Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
