Running a business while your kids are home for the summer? It’s a beautiful mess. In today’s episode, I'm sharing what it really looks like to work from home during summer break, with everything from tattling and snack requests to the sweet moments of quiet time that actually stick.
You’ll hear how we’re easing into our own summer rhythm (yes, there have been interruptions), plus practical tips for managing your day, whether you’ve got toddlers who need constant attention or big kids who thrive with structure. We’re covering independent play, age-appropriate routines, and simple systems to help you get stuff done without losing your mind.
You can run your business and enjoy summer with your kids. Let’s talk about how.
In this episode, you’ll learn:-
How to help little kids play independently so you can focus (even for 15 minutes)
-
Ways to co-create structure with older kids (and get their buy-in!)
-
Sample daily rhythm ideas that support everyone in the house
