Kids are messy and they're noisy, but guess what? So is a lot of creativity and imagination.

So summer's the time to embrace it. Maybe it's time to take out that glitter you've been hiding

on a high shelf away from the kids, or maybe it's time to take out the Play-Doh and let them mix

all the colors together or let them mix all the colors together

or let them experiment in the kitchen. Welcome back to the Motherhood podcast, a live workshop

style podcast that is helping thousands of moms redefine their motherhood journey. There was a point

in my life when I was trying to do

all the things. Parent my kids, pour into my marriage, run a busy law practice, keep up my home.

And what I found was that I was on the fast track to burnout until I discovered a better way.

Now I help women just like you to close the gap between their vision of

motherhood and what they're actually experiencing in their day-to-day lives. Together, we'll explore

when and where to simplify, systemize, and surrender. I promise you, you're already doing so much

better than you think. I'm your coach, Michelle Grosser, and this is Motherhood.

Welcome to Motherhood Monday, friends.

This week, my kids had their final week of school.

So now we are officially on summer break. And I don't know about you guys,

but for us, the end of the school year was so busy. So much going on, right? It was like spring

concerts and end of the year picnics and dance recitals and awards ceremonies and all these

great things, but it felt like my work was

also really busy. And then this nasty flu is going through her home. I've still got a little bit of it.

Now Jeff has completely lost his voice and both girls are still stuck with this nasty cough.

So send your prayers our way.
