Parents, ah, August: it signals the beginning of school, which means we often hustle back into a routine after relaxing all summer. Simply by their nature, these cycles we go through in life help establish necessary patterns to guide our days.

Parents, June means summer is officially here! With that comes summer break for our kids and we focus on being outside and planning vacations or outings with them. But June is also the month we celebrate Father’s Day. Often we prioritize our moms on Mother’s Day and we forget about dads. Now is the time to remedy that!
