Set a realistic summer schedule for my work: Done.
Plan fun things for the family time I set aside (See below!)
2. Make a Summer Bucket List With the Kids
I’ll be using our big list of summer bucket list ideas to help – and this will happen towards the end of the month. But I have started to jot down the things that I want to do:
- Use our nearby nature trail to take a bike ride to a local lunch place
- Use our nearby nature trail to take a walk to a local coffee shop
- Visit the Farmer’s Market
- Go stargazing at a nearby park
- Try to take more one-on-one walks with my kids
3. Do the Monthly Reading Challenge
For this month, I’m finishing my April book Ask for It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want. – DONE! It was a great book that opened my eyes to how little women negotiate and ask for what they want. The studies are stunning!
My May reading challenge book, Fourth Wing, came in. And I stayed up until 1 am reading it last night. Wow, I understand why it’s popular. It sucked me in almost immediately.

4. Conquer the Digital Detox on Sundays
Yesterday was another good day. (It also helped that I got my May book and couldn’t stop reading it)
5. Set Aside Quiet Time in the Mornings
My goal is to start with 10 minutes, 3 days a week. And then build from there.
This week, I had quiet time Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday mornings. It was about 30 minutes each. Mostly I journaled, wrote down gratitude, and jotted a jew affirmations each day.
6. Celebrate the Last Day of School
It’s this week. We’re planning on a picnic of some sort. 🙂
7. Watch a Documentary or Inspiring Movie (12 for the Year)
I’ve watched 4/12 for the year. So far, I’ve seen:
- King Richard (Based on the true story of Serena and Venus Williams)
- Jiro Dreams of Sushi
- The Greatest Love Story Never Told (Jennifer Lopez)
- Save My Squad (David Beckham)
If you have any recommendations of documentaries you’ve loved, please let me know in the comments!
8. Do a Money Challenge
Done. I own a second site, Wealthy Woman Finance, where we share wealth-building tips for women. I worked on a fun 5 in 5 money challenge.
9. Visit a New Coffee Shop Every Month
Done. In week 3. I’ve visited 4/12 for the year.
