Jot these down on the calendar to add some simple fun to your month!

June 6th: Do you have a drive-in movie near you? Even if it’s a bit of a drive, it can be a fun way to spend a summer evening. Feel free to skip the double feature if you still want to keep bedtime at a resonable time!

June 14th: Pull up a tutorial on the basics of juggling in the morning and have everyone present their progress after dinner! Parents included!

June 29th: Everyone is a photographer today! See what images your kids capture. Their collection of plushies, the tree in the backyard, the caterpillar on the sidewalk.

A wall calendar isn’t just a place to write down appointments. It’s where your family’s life becomes visible to everyone in the house, not just the one person holding it all in their head. 💛 We wrote about exactly how this works over on the blog. Link in bio!

Before you set up any planning system, ask yourself three things:
