Summer is finally here — brighter mornings, lighter routines… and if you’re a parent working from home, probably a few extra voices in the background, too!
We get it: balancing work, family, fun (and your own sanity) can feel like a full-time job in itself. That’s why we’ve created this simple summer guide to help you stay organised, connected, and intentional — without the pressure.
Create a Summer Bucket List — Together
Get the whole family involved! List things you’d love to do — big or small — and stick it on the fridge or in your mojo&co journal. These activities are fun for everyone and won’t cost the earth.
- Camping in the garden
- A bake off
- Games night, parents versus kids
- Water balloon fight
- Making s’mores under the stars
- Beach days
- Forest walks
Working From Home? Here’s How to Make It Work (Mostly)
Balancing Zoom calls with snack duty? You’re not alone.
Here’s how journaling can help set expectations at home
With your family:
-
Create a simple daily rhythm everyone understands — e.g., “quiet time” mid-morning, “play break” after lunch, or screen time windows.
-
Let them know when you’re really not to be disturbed (and when you’ll be all theirs).
-
Empower older kids or teens to take on small roles — a helper of the day, lunch prep, or sibling games.
With yourself:
-
Every day doesn’t have to be perfectly productive.
-
You’re doing enough, even when it feels chaotic.
-
It’s okay to step away from work for 10 minutes of air and a cup of tea.
Protect your ‘me-time’ like it’s a meeting.
Journaling first thing, a short walk, ten minutes with a book, or a quiet moment before bed — these are not luxuries. They’re your reset buttons.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about preserving your energy, communicating openly, and remembering that your wellbeing matters too.
Your mojo&co journal gives you a place to pause, plan, and reset — even in the messiest moments.
