Remedy!
So I salvaged my hard week last week on Friday by making sure we had “Something to do, something to think about and something to love”!
I actually took “the show” on the road and went to our favorite park located adjacent to a marine rescue center. We did some of our lessons in a favorite forest that shaded us from the heat!
Doing narration from high up in a tree always makes it more exciting. We read Travel and imagined we were hunting for our own “deserted city”. Mommy had fun too!
By the end of the day the children were back on track, happy and cooperative. I think we all had cabin fever. Outdoor time is so important and not just in your front yard but new places as well.
I echo you on outdoor time with new places. Interestingly enough, our last adventure was right outside our door.
