Summary

Summer is fast approaching, and here's what we propose: a relaxed and simple summer that offers just enough structure to keep those long sticky days from melting into chaos... and just enough fun to keep your kids asking for more.

Also: Fairy Tales.

Last week, I did a couple of live workshops on three simple steps to have a Fairy Tale Summer with your kids, no matter how old they are.

In today’s episode, I share the workshop recording, and you can also watch the video workshop that includes all of my slides.

If you want to join us at RAR Premium for a Fairy Tale Summer, head to readaloudrevival.com/fairytale or text “fairytale” to 33777, and we’ll send you an invitation.

Here's what we'll talk about:

The tippy top thing you can do to make sure your kids make delightful memories this summer (it’s way less work than you think)

0:00.0	Hey, Sarah McKinsey here and I've got something special for you today.
0:10.0	Last week I did a live workshop, a couple of live workshops in fact, on three steps to a fairy tale summer.
0:17.4	What three steps can you do to make sure that you end the summer not feeling like exhausted from over-scheduling
0:26.1	and trying to overdo and make sure nothing gets lost in the summer slide and all that anxiety.

0:40.9	nobody's doing chores, nobody's getting up at a
0:43.2	reasonable time the summer feels starts to feel blah what's something in between
0:46.5	those two extremes that we can do something that doesn't add a lot to our
0:49.9	to do list and that helps us focus on what matters most, I've got an idea for you.

1:11.6	a fairy tale summer.
1:12.6	And I wanted to replay that workshop for you here
1:16.0	so that you had it as well.
1:18.4	In the show notes for this episode,
1:20.2	you're gonna find the video replay of the workshop and you can watch it if you want because I did use
1:24.8	slides and you don't need to watch them. I mean I think I say everything that's on the slides and I know you've got a lot to do today.
1:32.1	And so you might need to listen to this while you're doing all the things you have on your list
