Summer is Winding Down

Summer is winding down! I know throughout the entire summer I kept staying how fast it was going. It always goes fast, but that's a good thing. It is good that it seems like its flying because that means you are having fun!  We should be having fun and enjoying time with friends and family. 

Did you do all the things you wanted?  I know we didn't.  I think we did a good job of not over booking our summer.  We had times where we were home and relaxing.  We had times where the kids were "bored" and had to navigate boredom. But we had a great summer!  We took a couple trips away from home, we entertained friends, we went to a few festivals and did a few new things in our area.  What more can I ask?!?  We made memories and that is all I can ask for.  I want my children to have a great childhood and my husband and I are doing everything we can to give them the best.

I am trying not to look at the "to do" list I created for my family for the summer. If we actually did everything I listed, I doubt we could have slept!  But we did a bunch, and we are blessed to be able to move some things to the fall.  

Don't stress about what you didn't do, celebrate the memories you were able to create.  Remember, not everyone is as lucky as you are.

Happy Monday!
