Summer break

I decided to take a social media break in part of July. I felt overworked, overwhelmed and depleted. I didn't plan to take a break from the blog, it kinda just happened. As I prepared to schedule posts for July I just felt that my energy was way too low to be able to do that. So I decided to be kind to myself and not push myself to do more than I needed.

So in July I slowed down a lot. My three kids have been home all summer so there has been a lot of cooking and cleaning. But there has also been a lot of outdoor activities, lots of playing Uno & Plusplus and watching TV. I have taken long baths, long walks and read books. It's been so nice to wake up and not have to rush to go somewhere or stress to get my kids to bed on time every night. Summer break is what I wish life was like all the time; less push, more ease.

So here I am now, in August. I have returned to my job. I am returning to my side business; starting a new Hypnobirthing group on the 13th and the kids are going back to school. Stress and scheduling is slowly returning into our lives. I am not ready. But I am trying to remind myself that summer isn't over just because vacation is. Hopefully September will be just as warm as last year and that we can find away to be a little more in ease mode in my family as fall comes our way.
