homeschool Intentional Celebration Scheduling
But before we dive headfirst into our summer plans of camping and traveling, I take time to reflect on all this year has been.

When I am fatigued and stressed, it is the perfect storm for my autoimmune disease to flare up. That summer I felt sick nearly all summer. Unfortunately when mom is sick she doesn't always get a sick day. My kids were very young and needed me constantly which made it very hard and humbling.
