This week, we’re diving into the hot mess that is summer parenting. We’re talking about how to not lose our minds while still being ‘fun moms’ (with no chill). From panicking over safety like full-blown helicopter parents to reminiscing about why unstructured playtime is a vibe. We get into the myth of the perfect summer, the fear of ‘summer rot’ (it’s not what it sounds like), and how to actually make sweet memories without maxing out your credit card or your patience. It’s sticky popsicle hands, endless snack requests, and plenty of Summer fun. Enjoy!
