August is upon us and there is one more month left of summer. This is the last month of summer break for many families. Some families wait until September to start school, while others may follow their local school schedule and start in just a couple of weeks.
Regardless of when you begin school, August is a very big month of preparations and a great time to get organized. Summer goes by so fast and before you know it, it will be time to start school. Will you be ready?
Planning for the rest of the summer:
Our family takes a big “not back to school” vacation at the end of August and we begin school on Labor Day. That means that this month is a big month of planning our family vacation and making sure that everything is ready to begin school when we get back.
Checklists are a great way to help keep your family on track with everything that you want to finish doing over the summer. They also will help you plan and keep track of everything that you need to get done before school begins. Make sure to take time to pick one thing to challenge yourself on this new school year. Something that you want to focus on for personal growth or for goals for your family.
Finishing out the summer with a bang, and planning out the new school year is an exciting time of new beginnings for your entire family.

For so many years, I was frustrated. I needed lots and lots of time to plan my homeschool year in the summer, but I didn’t have it. My husband had other ideas for how to spend the summer and frankly so did I. I finally learned what I was doing wrong and I’ll share it with you in this episode.
