Help Your Kids Have an Intentional Summer

Want to help your kids be more intentional with their summer? In this podcast episode, Jesse and I share 10 questions to ask your kids to help them come up with some great ideas to be more intentional with their time this summer. We hope you’ll use these questions as a springboard to set goals or just to get yours kids’ creative juices flowing!

As we talk about in this episode, we sat down with our kids and went over these questions together and we had such a fun time hearing our kids’ answers, learning more about what they are hoping to do and accomplish this summer, and setting some goals and planning some activities for the summer.

We also share some fun family updates, a deodorant I’ve been loving, and books we’re reading!
