Not Planning


This month I made a strong effort NOT to get sucked in to all the home-school planning that is taking place.  I am a planner by nature, but I found in the past planning can be consuming and doesn't really work out well for our family.  So this August while other homeschooling mamas are crazy planning, buying, and scheduling, I am maintaining our summer routine.  We take trips to the river, slide at the water park, hike the foothills, and camp remotely as a family. We read, play games and picnic along the way.  

Being present in this season is the goal.  I am enjoying this time of creating memories and strengthening bonds with my family.  I will admit I do hold one plan for the upcoming fall season.   

Remaining FEARLESS in my role as wife and mom.  

Some people choose a word for the year each January.  I like to choose a word, verse, and/or mantra each fall after finding peace and calm during the summer.  

Fearless
2 Timothy 1:7
The Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.
