As a professional home organizer in #MelbourneFlorida, and a parent of three, I understand the delicate balance between enjoying #summer vacation and maintaining some structure at #home.
Kids eagerly anticipate the fun of summer, but many parents struggle to keep their homes #organized and their children entertained.
Here are some tips to help keep your home #organized and establish a routine while making summer enjoyable:
Create a Schedule: It doesn't have to be strict, but having a routine can set expectations for everyone at home. Include self-care activities like getting ready for the day, making beds, tidying rooms, and doing light chores. Divide the day between activities and quiet time.
Plan Activities: Schedule playdates, day trips, and educational outings. Get input from every family member on what they'd love to do over the summer and make a list. This is a great way to make memories without chaos.
Be Flexible: While it's good to have a plan, staying flexible is key. Preparation helps maintain an organized home and creates magical family memories.
Check Passports: If you're planning international travel, ensure your passports are up to date.
Here is a #summer daily checklist for kids ages 3-8 and one for ages 9-15 here. I also created a Summer Bucket List with fun activity suggestions for the entire family.
Enjoy a wonderful summer with your family, making memories that will last a lifetime.
