Avoiding burnout

I have more or less been in school mode for the last 3 years, without any defined breaks/vacations. I just kept going because we've been very loose with our schedule, and wanted the flexibility. But now I'm ready for definition on our calendar, and I think the kids are too!

I think part of the problem was trying to fit our Jan to Dec calendar in with everyone elses summer fun.

What better way than to start than in Summer Vacation mode? So we'll be taking July off, then the first week of August is VBS, and then we'll take a week to get into "the mode". After that, it's school time! So for the next month or so, expect posts to be about fun, field trips and summer time.

We'll have a Kindergartener and First Grader. What a blast!
