MAY 2015: The house is in order, now, think back... what was your favorite moment and/or vacation last summer? Find your favorite photo from that time, order a 5x7 or 8x10 of it and frame it! Keep that momentum out to remind you how fast this summer coming up will blow by. Be reminded of how important it is to be with your kids and embrace those special moments with them. You know what I always say, "The days are long & the years are short!" Keep that photo where you'll see it everyday and make this summer ahead even better than the last!
APRIL 2015: I hate to say it but we all know we are starting to feel it... Spring Cleaning!! The windows are opened and the house is airing out, if not already, from the winter hibernation. I love reading about cleaning & organizing tips and I thought this one was pretty clever, and helpful to stay on task! Here is a great day by day guide on taking one day at a time this month to getting the job done! **Take the April Challenge and one day at a time get that house spick & span (well... somewhat!) Metro Parents Spring Cleaning Guide
MARCH 2015: Ok, so I guess I'm feeling the holidays a little bit!! Take the time to get some funny green goods at the dollar store; wigs, necklaces, mustaches, hats, etc. Take a white sheet and hang it up as a back drop (or whatever solid color you have or plain wall will do!) and do a fun St. Patty's photo shoot with the kids, doesn't matter how great or perfect they turn out, let the kids play around and have fun and take the pics as they dress up green!!
Post your photos for us to see and enjoy too! Click here for more Pattys Day Fun!
FEBRUARY 2015: Take the time to ENJOY making Valentines with your kids if you don't already. Make Valentines Day special with red colored foods, decorations, and goodies! Don't rush thru it, take the time and enjoy it! (I feel like its only 5 years of them celebrating it at school!) So make it a special Valentine tradition to write each other valentine notes at home) Check out a past post that I loved writing, How The Moms Mom made Valentines Day Fun!

SEPTEMBER's Challenge of the Month! Take the time to plan your time! This is such a busy time of year that seems more chaotic than others because its the month we get back on schedule from a summer of fun and freedom! Make the time to write down all of the families activities; sports, church, school, etc. and write in when you are going to take time for yourself. VIP!!! Its the time to do what YOU need to do... workout, read, clear your mind... whatever is to keep your head cleared and your heart strong. If its scheduled, you'll do it so write it in no matter how big or small, its YOUR time, IT MATTERS! When Momma's happy... the entire family is happy!
AUGUST's Challenge of the Month! Getting thru the August month is challenge enough! School anxiety is right around the corner. This month comes once a year and we still seem to never be ready for it. Start now, get everything in order; school shopping, schedules, etc. and be prepared when it comes time to sending your little summer time cuties off to school! Maybe you'll even enjoy a cup of coffee while looking out the Starbucks window watching the last minute "others" prepare for the big day (those are the Moms that need The Moms Diet for next year!) !!!
