As always, I have lots to be grateful for. It is the end of the school year and that has me retrospectively examining what improvements and growth I’ve seen in my kids over the past few months and the factors I’m grateful for that have helped them along the way.

1. I am grateful for the most AMAZING teachers my boys have had this year! Seriously, we are so blessed to have wonderful, engaging, kind, intelligent educators who have taught them since August!
2. I am grateful for the growth and learning my kids have been able to experience. We are so lucky to live in a country and society that makes space for children to learn, play, and not have to grow up too fast.
3. Although with the move into summer comes a change in routine and a scramble to figure out what kids will do while us working parents go on about out schedules, I am thankful for the annual break to slow down, enjoy each other more, and let kids be kids without as much pressure and responsibility.
4. I’m thankful for all of the beautiful slide shows, pictures, and videos my kids’ teachers have shared with me this year, especially over the past couple of weeks.
5. I’m grateful for the numerous fun and exciting events the teachers and school have planned for the kids. From water day to pajama day, the kids have had a blast celebrating the end of the school year!

Wishing you all an amazing and grateful summer!
