And God please give me the patience not to be frustrated when we are in any of the 3 main states of summer: Hungry, Fighting, and Bored.

There does feel like this weird pressure to have summer be measured and perfect. Love this.

Needed this! The first line caught my eye as I color coded a calendar for the entire summer today 😅 love love love the last line. I am new to this parenting thing (baby girl turned one last Saturday!) and love having your voice on the path ahead. ❤️

so grateful for this prayer on week three (or is it four?) of summer break. Beautiful, needed reminders.

This is beautiful. Thank you. It sparked a good conversation with my husband - it is so hard to get the balance right but essential to try and reset each morning ready to try again.
