The Chattering boys and I are developing a way they can enjoy unstructured time at home or on the block while I blog (now that school is out and camp hasn’t started). I found some nice tips on how to keep your children growing spiritually over the summer on Beliefnet in this article by Kathy Peel.

I’m seeking to instill in my kids the need to repeat the following sentence: “Mom, is there anything you need me to help you with?”

Parents, post and tell us what summer goals you’ve set for your kids!
