Ep 35 - Your Summer Game Plan: Staying Productive (and Relaxed) with Kids at Home

If summer feels chaotic to you, and you're trying to stay on top of life with kids at home, this episode will help you create a calm, productive rhythm—without losing your mind (or your goals).

 

While summer with kids at home can be full of beautiful moments, it also brings a surprising amount of extra work, from upended routines, more meals, more messes, more activities and responsibilities, and less personal time.

 

Even if you’re technically “off,” you might feel more exhausted than ever. In this episode, I discuss four common challenges that come up during the summer, as well as simple and realistic ways to handle each one with more intention, less overwhelm, and more teamwork.

 

If you're managing a busy household, juggling work, and trying to maintain your own healthy habits during summer, this episode will help you to handle it all and make room for what matters most.

 

You’ll learn:

 

🔸 Why routines fall apart in summer—and a strategy to bring structure without rigidity

 

🔸 How to use a simple family fridge calendar to reduce mental load and improve communication

 

🔸 What to do when your kids say “I’m bored”—without becoming the full-time summer activities coordinator

 

🔸 How to cut down on constant driving with smarter summer activity planning

 

🔸 Ways to get your kids involved in household chores during summer so you’re not doing it all

 

🔸 Tips for protecting your own personal goals, health habits, and work-from-home time

 

🔸 A reminder that small intentional actions still count—even when life feels unpredictable

 

This episode is especially helpful for moms navigating summer break routines, looking for a better way to manage their time, and wanting to feel less like the unpaid maid and more like the calm, confident leader of their home.

 

🎧 Tune in for some practical strategies, gentle mindset shifts, and encouraging reminders that a more enjoyable summer is possible—with a little planning and a lot of grace.
