Embrace the Joy of Summer: Your Ultimate Guide to a Blissful Season!

The Dog Days of Summer have officially arrived, and many working mothers find themselves feeling drained at this point in the year. With children ready to move on from school, uniforms are snagged and worn, and book bags barely hold together thanks to duct tape. Memorial Day rolls around, offering a momentary escape that allows us to ease into summer—a season characterized by less rigidity, longer evenings, and plenty of fun. This period also invites introspection, serving as a testament to achievements. We’ve successfully navigated yet another academic year, completing cross country, basketball, and soccer seasons for both boys, along with our first venture into pre-professional ballet. Our Memorial Day celebration marked the unofficial commencement of summer, despite slightly chilly swimming conditions. Nevertheless, the lengthy weekend was a moment of joy, as we eagerly embrace all the freedom and vitality that summer has in store!
