New Hope Christian Academy: Themed Summer Camps Open Now

    This post is sponsored by New Hope Christian Academy, but the opinions are 100% my own.

    You know how at the beginning of Summer, you’re all, “Woo hoo, I’m a free woman!” because you got a measly 30 minutes back to your morning? You no longer have to wake up before the sun and rush through some semblance of a routine that ends with someone crying, kids not wearing matching socks, and a homework assignment. 

    Remember?

    I’m not hating those extra 30 minutes. But I am here to warn you that those kids get restless real quick, and you aren’t going to want to be stuck being their go-to boredom-fixer all Summer long.

    “I’m bored. What are we going to do today? I’m bored. What’s for lunch? Can I have a snack? I’m bored.” 

    Ring a bell?

    Hold on to your hat Momma, because this school year is coming in for a rough landing after enduring the first-ever year our kids have navigated a ton of pandemic firsts.

    It’s Summertime, and the Boredom’s Easy

    I know you’re just hanging on by your fingernails as we round the corner of this long, challenging year, but it’s time to strategize Summer!

    I know it’s hard to plan this far in advance, but you know how Summer camps go. They fill up quickly, and all the good spots get swiped up by moms who have boundless energy and time to design every last morsel of action for their child. 

    That’s not me! It’s probably not you, either. 

    Lucky for us, New Hope Christian Academy already has its Summer schedule posted!

    Moms, I can’t stress enough how valuable those 30 minutes are. And frankly, it’s okay to take even more time. It’s okay to put the kids in a camp they’ll love so you have more you time.
