The kids are out of school, and the sun is blazing. Yep, it is summer vacation!
Like a majority of others, summer is the time for family trips, and I have been busy trying to figure out all the typical stuff, where to go, how much to spend, how are we going to get there, you know how the story goes.
For many of us, we need a vacation from planning the vacation. For those folks, I wanted to share some tips on how to plan your summer vacation stress free!
Here in the Crooks household, June is a huge month for celebrations. It isn’t only the month of my husband’s birthday, but it’s also Father’s Day.
This year, Father’s Day will be celebrated with Daddy many, many miles away. We couldn’t let his two special days go by unnoticed, even if we were so far apart.
When I was asked to write a blog for Memorial Day, was excited and jumped on it. Then, ten minutes later it hit me—I had no idea what I was going to write about.
What is Memorial Day, anyway? I talked to my husband, and he wasn’t even 100% sure.
I went to Google and typed in “what is M-E-” and the first suggestion was, “What is Memorial Day.”
Really.
It’s that time – time to start planning your summer vacations. With the current economy, there are so many doubts and question. Can I afford it? Should I use that money for something else? Is there any way to make a vacation more affordable? Should I just stay home?
The information form this post comes from How to Conquer Clutter by Stephanie Culp. I like these commandments as guidelines to manage what is brought into the home and when things need to leave the home. I practice some of these commandments. Do you?
I had an opportunity to listen to Jeff Horowitz, a certified running and triathlon coach, author, and personal trainer, who has run more than 150 marathons.
It was his words “Setting goals with a meaning,” which stuck. This applies to both racing and training runs.
