Hunting season is almost here again, which means we need to spend the next month or two eating up the venison from last year that is still in our freezer to make room for this year. This is why you’ll see very little meat purchased this week. Also, we are getting LOTS of greens beans and cucumbers from our garden every day, so we will be heavily supplementing our meals with those.

If you are gearing up for school to start (or just ready to begin some new rhythms in the fall), this week’s episode is all about how to set yourself up for a successful school year. We share four strategies that have worked so well for us over the years and get very practical on how to make them happen.
The first strategy is one that not everyone will agree with, but when it comes to a smoother school year, this has made such a difference for us!! What is that strategy? It’s teaching our kids to take ownership of their responsibilities — especially when it comes to things related to school. We talk about how we’ve made this happen and how it’s worked for different kids with different personalities. We also talk about how we are encouraging this even with David, who has significant cognitive delays and disabilities.
We then move on to sharing about how setting up our days well the evening before and the morning of, can impact our entire day — and week! Simple things like prepping the night before by laying out clothes, packing lunches, getting everything we need for the morning set out, and going to bed earlier make the mornings so much more calm and organized, which leads to a better day for everyone!
I also revisit the idea of slow productivity, which is all about intentionally slowing down, evaluating what truly needs to be done, and finding ways to simplify. By reducing the chaos and clutter in our schedules, we can make room for what truly matters and create a school year filled with intention and cherished memories! Whether you have school-age kids or not, I hope the advice and ideas in this episode give you inspiration and food for thought.
