summer together” />Lisa Tanner
- I’m a mother of 11 kids from toddlers to young adults.
- With school out for the summer, our family prioritizes relaxation and rejuvenation.
- While maintaining some routines is key, our daily schedule becomes more flexible during these months.
As the summer unfolds, my lively household of 13 adopts a more relaxed lifestyle that emphasizes enjoyment over structure.
Caring for kids throughout the long summer days can be quite challenging—believe me, I’ve experienced this firsthand. However, if your children haven’t returned to school yet and you’re still counting down to that first day back in early August or later, you are almost through it.
I’ve effectively developed strategies to keep my youngsters intellectually stimulated while ensuring they remain entertained and well-fed during their break. This approach also allows us more opportunities to bond as a family.

breakfast is mandatory first—so they prepare whatever they wish whenever they’re ready.
