Today we are continuing our Summer Success Series, ten weeks of episodes to give you a life line by helping you manage and plan your summer, so that you can actually enjoy it.  In this episode #9, we focus on five boundaries every mom needs to set in place to protect her joy and energy all summer long.   Let's get started!   REMINDER A head's up we have some extra surprises in store for this month, so make sure you are getting all the insider emails.  If you are not getting the insider emails  then go check out the contact page on the website: www.byrdmichelle.com,or shoot us an email at contact@byrdmichelle.com.   Did you grab your ticket?

As moms we do so many little tasks without even realizing it.  We are the ones who switch out the kids clothes that are too small, purchase new clothes, help kids pack, refill things around the house, reorder the daily items that don't make it on the list, meal plan like a boss, take up a new job as an unpaid uber driver, and so many more tiny yet significant tasks.  Over the summer it can be a challenge to fit in times of rest.  Between packing for trips, unpacking and doing massive loads of laundry, figuring out logistics, and actually working, rest can seem like a luxury, but it isn't.   Today we are continuing our Summer Success Series, 10 weeks of episodes to give you a lifeline by helping you manage and plan your summer, so that you can actually enjoy it!

Summer is a unique animal.  We can have so many unnoticed expectations about how or what we will do with our family over the summer.  As busy working moms we can feel guilty that we need to take time away from our families and work.  It's far too easy with the addition of social media to fall into the comparison trap and feel frustrated that our family isn't taking an exotic fun trip like our friends, family, or neighbors.  We can also lose sight of what we want summer to be by over planning every minute, or miss out on fun activities because we never get around putting them on the calendar.   But I'm here to say you don't have to do it all, and your summer doesn't need to look Pinterest Perfect.  Today we are continuing our Summer Success Series, 10 weeks of episodes to give you a life line, by helping you manage and plan your summer, so that you can actually enjoy it!
