We just wrapped up our 17th year of homeschooling!
I love our learning days,
yet when summer comes ’round,
there’s just a whole new breath of fresh air to be taken.
Simple summers are a beautiful thing!
Our family doesn’t do summer sports, no day camps, no overnight camps, and we pick one VBS to attend. In general, we will set aside one day a week for any scheduled activities or meet ups with friends.
We do create a rhythm to our days; a routine, of sorts, to flow with.
Responsibilities, rest, and recreational activities that collide with resourcefulness.
After parenting for so long, I’m acutely aware of how fast these summer days go fleeting by. I don’t want to be so busy going to things that we miss building relationships. So we will be mostly enjoying the fresh breeze of our 2 acres as we embrace low key mornings, midday swims in the hot sun, and explore self-led interests in the cool of our basement. I ain’t gonna lie, I’m very much looking forward to lazy care free days. Happy summer ya’all!
“So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.”
Romans 14:19
Thinking of you. Wishing I lived close enough to spend a lazy carefree summer day with you. 🙂
I just wanted to say, I LOVE your blog!
Thank you Karen! I’ve taken the summer off but getting ready to blog again as the new school year begins.
