3 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Summer

The sun is stretching longer into the evening sky. 
The school year is beginning to wind down.
And your heart… is probably somewhere between excitement and overwhelm.

Summer is coming, and with it, a golden opportunity.
Not just to fill your calendar—but to shape your summer with intention.
Not just to keep up with the busyness—but to step into what truly brings life.
​
So before the rush begins, take a quiet moment.
Breathe in.
Grab your journal or a cup of coffee.
​
And ask yourself these three simple, powerful questions:

1. 🌱 What do I want MORE of this summer?Let your heart answer before your to-do list does.
Do you long for more slow mornings on the porch?
More laughter around the dinner table?
More time outdoors, more peace in your soul more connection with your kiddos?
Don’t be afraid to dream a little.
This is your invitation to make space for what fills you up.

2. 🧹 What do I want LESS of?This is your permission slip.
Less overcommitting.
Less guilt for saying no.
Less screen time, rushing, yelling, comparing, multitasking.
What can be cleared out to make room for joy?
What burden can be laid down so you can travel lighter through these sunlit months?

3. 🌻 What’s one must-do memory I want to make?This one’s for your heart. For your family’s story.
Think simple and sweet:
A beach day. A homemade pizza night under twinkle lights.
Catching fireflies. A road trip. A sleep-in Saturday with pancakes and pajamas.
Choose just one memory that will matter more than the mess or the schedule.
And then—make it happen. Guard it. Celebrate it.

☀️ You don’t need a perfect summer.You just need a purposeful one.
One where your soul gets to breathe.
Where your people feel seen.
Where you come alive in small, sacred moments.
So before the season sweeps you off your feet, pause and plant a little intention.
Ask yourself these three questions.
And then begin shaping a summer you won’t want to forget.
