Hey there, friends! Summer is here, and I’m determined to make the most of it. But let’s be real—less than a week into my summer break, and I’m already feeling a bit overwhelmed. So, I’ve compiled a list of ways to keep my spirits high and hopefully inspire you along the way!

1. I don’t have to entertain my kids every second of the day. It’s perfectly fine for me to scroll through social media, catch up on my favorite shows, or have a chat on the phone while they play.
2. I’ll throw an umbrella in my drink—even if it’s just my morning coffee. It’s all about getting into that summer mindset!
3. I’m going to relax. A little screen time won’t hurt the kids, so I’m embracing the quiet moments and enjoying some peace.
4. There’s always wine waiting for me at the end of the day.
5. The kids have chores too! I’m not the only one responsible for keeping the house in order.
6. So what if my house gets messy? The worst that can happen is that it just looks a bit chaotic.
7. I’ll take time to appreciate those sweet moments when my kids are actually getting along and having fun together.
8. If I decide swimming is a bath for my kids, then that’s totally valid!
9. If I don’t feel like showering or leaving the house, that’s okay. The world won’t end if I stay in my PJs all day.
10. I’ll belt out “The Copacabana” at full volume because it brings me joy.
11. I’ll embrace the heat and enjoy outdoor activities, even if I feel like I’m melting.
12. I’ll try not to threaten the kids with summer school; that kind of negativity isn’t helpful.
13. Having multiple kids means there’s bound to be some grumpiness; I’ll learn to roll with it.
14. If the kids sleep in, that’s a good thing. I’ll just let them snooze and enjoy the quiet.
15. If dinner doesn’t go over well, I won’t take it to heart. I’ll just assume they inherited their picky tastes from their dad. Maybe I’ll let him do the grilling more often this summer.
16. When I buy them treats at the grocery store, it’s positive reinforcement, not bribery. I’ll own that!
17. I’ll try to keep my language in check; instead of saying “oh no,” I’ll go with “oh well” when things go awry.
18. When chaos strikes, I’ll find my happy place—deep breaths and positive thoughts all the way!

This summer, I’m committed to staying positive, no matter what comes my way.
