Home Sweet Home
I’m home for the summer! This is the first year that I managed to keep my first week off from school completely unscheduled. It’s also the earliest that the kids stopped attending day care for the summer. We’ve enjoyed our first week together and as usual, I have a renewed appreciation for all the stay at home moms! What a job they do!
Some of my observations from our week together:
- Stay at home moms do tons of dishes!
- Kids like to eat ALL the time.
- Siblings fight. (I was an only child.)
- It’s good to get out of the house at least once a day.
- Board games are fun again.
- The local library has a lot of great summer programs.
I have a lot of work to do this summer and during the rest of June, we won’t have as much time together because of that. However, come July, we’ll be back together again – every day! For better or worse:) I welcome any and all tips from stay at home moms for making the most of our summer together.

I was a stay at home mom for almost 2 years and I have to say it really is like a full time job. It’s very hard at times and also very rewarding, but I really enjoy a break from home now.
