Welcome to our Summer Series! In this episode, Don and Suzanne talk about how to intentionally plan your family’s summer so it’s filled with peace, purpose, and connection—not just chaos.
They introduce the powerful idea of “washing the school year off” your kids—helping them reset emotionally, mentally, and spiritually from the demands and structure of school life.
Topics covered include:
- Creating a loose plan for summer (structure without pressure)
- Establishing daily rhythms your kids can rely on
- The importance of rest, reflection, and safe space
- Using planned fun and budget-friendly ideas to make memories
- Teaching character, processing hard experiences, and building sibling connection
You only get one Summer 2025—let’s make it one to remember.
