So it is our favorite time of the year again…Summer Vacation. As a Mom I find myself getting excited that the rigid schedule of homework, dinner, bath and straight to bed for the kids is nearing an end. As we all know after they go to bed there is still plenty for us to do in preparation for the next day and sheer exhaustion seems to be the norm throughout the year. Coffee anyone? There is a glimmer of hope that comes as we look forward to picnics, laughter and a renewed sense of fun. Though our workdays and schedules may continue, living the summer vicariously through a child’s eyes makes us relax a little more and take in the moments that so often go unnoticed as we let the routines take over. Summer Vacation seems to ground us and we realize what is really important - time together. So here’ to a week of pure carefree joy and excitement and may yours be all that you have dreamt of! Please feel free to share your favorite summer memories with us!
