I cannot believe that school starts this week! It has just flown by! I am excited to see how Leighton progresses and grows this year, but I’m sad that I won’t have her at home every day with me! As summer is coming to an end, it’s a great time to pick a day this week for a little quality time with your kids before they start back to school. Sure, we just had our summer vacay last week and spent tons of time together, but I do love to intentionally carve out a day to try to fully devote my time to each child.
We have already crossed most all of these off of this list, and the last couple we will get done this week. It’s a great time to just talk to them about how they’re feeling about school, let them know how excited you are for them and just talk and grow your connection with each other. Once the school year starts, Leighton is so, so busy! So these last few days are our time to just soak in the slow mornings for a few more days. Keep reading below for my top 10 list of ways to spend quality time with your kids before they start back to school.
1.) Take them back to school shopping for clothing.
2.) Have a lunch date together.
3.) Go get manicures or pedicures together.
4.) Have a movie date.
5.) Go play a sport together one day like tennis.
6.) Pick a meal, go shopping for the ingredients and cook together.
7.) Have a game night and let them pick the game.
8.) Go shopping for some beauty products together.
9.) Involve them in the back to school shopping for school supplies.
10.) Go get a haircut or blowout together.
When do your kids start back to school? Do you spend a day date together?
