Top Comments of this video!! :3
I have homeschooled my children, even when nobody knew what homeschooling was. We have lived, as you describe, a no schedule, no scheduled activities, kind of life. Freedom. That is the word for what you have just described. Free. It will serve your children well. They will have, and hold onto, this philosophy, their entire lives. You, and your husband, will see, that this life, will set your children free. They may not know the gift you are giving them now, but they will, as time goes by. I wish you well.

And mamas get to take the summer off too !!!!!! Take the summer "off" from the stress and burdens and "must- dos". What if when we gave our kids permission to have a break this summer , we took a break WITH them . I might be preaching to myself here ..... but I feel a constant pull of what I need to be DOING as a mom instead of just being the mom and being present . Which is why I love your videos !!!!! I wanna play in the sprinklers and swing on the swings 🤣 dare I mentally give myself a break this summer ..... the thought thrills me !

I love this. Summer should be boring that’s the whole point!!! My kids have been doing some online learning like dance, language and art but other than that we’re not doing anything especially big vacations or things that require a lot from me. Our summer has been park days, movie nights and lots of reading books.

Being a work out of the home full time mom I have missed so much .. all of you stay at home moms I wish I could have had your experiences .. you have it so good but yet you probably feel so lost .. one day you will see how lucky you are .. your husband or significant other probably makes enough money so you can stay home .. I don’t know .. it doesn’t matter .. I just know I can’t go back in time ... I didn’t get to bake bread and go to the park on a Monday morning.. I had to work outside of the home .. I still do .. I can only hope my son understands one day .. his mom had to work! 😢

Been feeling this and now with my oldest (6) officially in summer break, I can say his spontaneous Gemini ideas have made each day full! There are many snd I mean many parents I know who book their children’s entire summer with camps, because they have to work and/want the help. It breaks my heart💗

Aww I love this video with your beautiful family. It can be very hard for momma's who work out of the home to feel like they can achieve this - so please don't be discouraged! I think as mom's in all different kinds of situations can be hard on ourselves. I know I am sometimes. We all do it differently and the best way we can 😊. I am actually a SAHM so I feel so blessed to be able to have so much unstructured time with my lovies. And there is definitely a need for an encouraging video like this for SAHMs because I know others that are worried about forward progress instead of letting kids be kids 🩷. But on the other hand, sometimes camps and stuff like that can be the most exciting part of summer instead of normal daycare etc.
Keep up the good work on your lovely videos! And keep up the good work all Momma's out there. You are doing great! 😍

I’ve literally been sweating this. My small children have been ill for a while and their immune systems are just now getting some peace (immune compromised). I don’t want to bury them in activities this summer. I want to connect with them. I do work 7;30-4 (mama has to work- some times you have to have a plan B in a family), and I am grateful to have a great career but I miss my kids. I’m in health care and that’s what I need to do to get on my feet, but eventually I would like to figure a career I can do nomadic. I want my kids to be free this summer!! Not attach their meaning to how fast they can run or how many goals they make. Just be.

I’ve done this - tried to go with the flow and not scheduled anything - and it only led to burnout by August. Kids (and Mom’s) need structure. So, I would only abandon every organized activity again if Mary Poppins is coming in to tag team with me! 😂😅 A few fun summer camps or activities helps so much for our family!

I think this is SUCH an important message. I had these intentions for this Summer but June has been its own roller coaster and I'm trying to get off of it. 😅 I crave these slow moments. Even on our busier days, we've been making time for "read aloud time", chalk and bike riding just in front of our house. It's been helping keep the balance I feel. Aiming to do more and thankful that when we go camping (which is often), it's a completely slower pace like this in nature .💚

I love this! We forget how calming it can be to sit with the quietness of life, listen to nature and be with each other without having to fill each second with things to do.
