1. Prepare Myself for Summer With the Kids
My main goal for the month is to:
Set a realistic summer schedule for my family: Done. Ideas can be found on summer schedule for kids. I pretty much used all the ideas on that article to set up a daily checklist and a few themed days for us.

Set a realistic summer schedule for my work: Done.
Plan fun things for the family time I set aside. Done.
2. Make a Summer Bucket List With the Kids
Done. Here are a few things on the list:
- Use our trail to take a walk to a local coffee shop
- Visit the Farmer’s Market
- Go stargazing at a nearby park
- Nightly family walks
- Tea party with friends
- Colorado hiking
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 women don’t negotiate and ask for what they want. The studies are stunning!
May reading challenge book was Fourth Wing. I finished it in a day I liked it so much. (Not sure my family appreciated it though!)

4. Conquer the Digital Detox on Sundays
Hmm. I completely forgot about this over Memorial Day weekend. We were with family for a graduation and off of screens anyway. So it worked!
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 Wednesday, and Saturday mornings. I didn’t quite reach the goal, but plan on setting aside more time in June and July for this. I did write affirmations a lot more this month though, and I really enjoyed them.
6. Celebrate the Last Day of School
We took a picnic to the park this week and stayed a few hours. The kids really enjoyed it!
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)
No update here. I need to get in gear on watching more!
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.
I’ll update you every Monday to share how I’m doing with these goals.
