5 Family Things to Do Before Summer is Through!

Do these things now and have no-regrets when it’s back to school time.

Summertime is so special, yet the days are fleeting (right?) And without some intentionality it’s easy to wrap up summer, wondering where the days have gone.

Whether your kids are about to start back to school already (like here in Hawaii!) or you still have a few weeks, you’ll be glad to make the most of these days while summer is still in the air! In today’s episode I suggest FIVE things families can do, for a no-regrets summer. These are not difficult, but they won’t happen on their own!

I mentioned quite a few suggested resources in this episode, which you’ll find linked below!
