confession. I read at least 3 books to my oldest two every night for years. The younger two get a lot of books but not nightly. We read a lot of chapter books out loud during the day, and now with 4 kids, I'm pretty exhausted by the end of the day 😴. I'd certainly like to make more room for that in our night time routine. What do bedtimes look like in your house? Do the bigs read to the littles? Do you do bedtime in waves (littles first)?

As anyone else a little depressed and panicked that summer is flying by so quickly!? I feel like I just want to pause life to get organized but that’s not the way it works, right?
I want to do all the projects before school starts conflicting with the little voice in my heart that says - this is the only summer Sissy is 10, Bubba is 7, Scoot is 4 and C-baby is a baby 😪. They are growing so fast.
My tendency is to lean into my concern but my Heavenly Father says “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30

Look at my sweet little friend that visits when I work in the office. ☀️🐦🍃
“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more important than they? ... therefore do not worry about tomorrow.” - Matthew 6:26-34

Yes!

Advantages for children include being physically active, spending time in nature and getting away from screens. And fun.
