So, on a scale of 1-10, one being Granny doing pushups in the attic and 10 being Dad, so frazzled he's forgotten to take his clothes off before getting in the shower, how are you feeling about the summer holidays?
I speak to a lot of parents, and none have been giving off granny vibes. So don't sweat it if you feel you're radiating fully-clothed shower energy.
This week's email is a reminder to hold on to your own growth mindset thinking this summer.
When the kids are whining that they're bored, all that's left of the snacks is the packets on the floor, and no one's even out of their pyjamas yet, please: try to channel yesterday's workshop mantra:
I can find a way
You may sometimes feel overwhelmed this summer. (Note to self: I am human.)
And in those moments it's hard to come up with ideas.
So I have a book of ideas for you this week. I Am Not An Eggbox - The Recycling Project Book is one to have up your sleeve this holiday. It has 10 things you can do with an eggbox. Easy.
Hours of entertainment with just a book and an eggbox. Phew.
So next time it feels impossible to think of another way to keep the kiddos busy, try this one.
Love, Becca x
PPS Today is the last day of my first workshop of the Summer. Laura and I have been having a bloomin' lovely time with the kids. We've made potions, medals, binoculars to look for the joy in our lives… so many lovely things! One parent booked their child on for another week later in the holiday, when we were only two days in! I'll let that speak for itself. :-)
