All winter long we sat cooped up in the house, watching the snow fall, freezing cold everytime we ventured outside for a few minutes to build a snowman or just tramp through the snow.  We waited through a wet spring when we couldn’t walk on the grass for fear of sinking in mud and making it the world’s bumpiest lawn.  And now, finally, summer has arrived!  We are in heaven!

We are looking forward to all of the fun summer activities- the kids love camping, exploring nature, catching bugs and butterflies, collecting rocks, playing in lakes and streams, and all the fun that we can possibly have when we take a weekend getaway into the mountains.

But, the week days are still full of regular housework, chores, errands to run, schedules to keep up.  You know how it goes.  I want my kids to have wonderful memories of summer fun, but I’m struggling with how to accomplish that and keep on top of everything else at the same time.  Am I alone in this? Or do other moms struggle with the same thing?
