Send us Fan Mail Summer can feel magical… and completely overwhelming. If you’ve ever entered summer excited for memory-making only to find yourself exhausted, overscheduled, constantly buying snacks, and somehow becoming everyone’s full-time entertainment coordinator - this episode is for you. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the simple summer planning tradition my family lovingly makes fun of me for every single year: our Summer Bucket List Meeting. We sit down together and answer one important question: “What do we want summer to feel like?” And honestly? It changes everything. Instead of ending summer wondering where the time went, we intentionally create a rhythm that supports fun, connection, rest, and realistic expectations for everyone (including mom). I’ll walk you through the exact process we use - including our “three rounds” bucket list method - and how to create healthy summer boundaries so you can enjoy the season instead of surviving it.
