Summer is here—and whether your days are relaxed or full of activities, it’s never too late to think intentionally about how you’ll spend the season. In this episode, I share what our summer looks like as a homeschooling family of ten: from low-budget camping trips and local state park adventures to reading challenges and kid-led passion projects.

You’ll hear how we’re managing screen time, why we’re embracing a slower pace this year, and what kinds of creative learning (and fun!) our kids are diving into—like gardening, cookbook creation, and even a homemade audio drama! This episode is packed with ideas and encouragement to help you craft a summer rhythm that works for your unique family and season.

Whether your summer is bustling or quiet, I hope this gives you inspiration and freedom to make the most of it without pressure.
