Introduction

As a kid, I loved summer. I counted down the days until school ended for

the year. Summer meant spending the majority of my time in the place I

loved most. . .home. It also meant playtime, friends, adventure, and lots of

water. Now that I’m a mom, I see that summer means much the same to

my three children. And while I still love the lazy days of summer, it is

important to me, while my children are still young, that I take advantage of

the precious few summers I have with them.

Summer is valuable family time, but it is also an excellent time for training.

I want to teach my children life skills, responsibility, and self-fulfillment. I

don’t want to see their education come to a complete halt over the summer.

My goal is to encourage my children to continue to learn through play,

books, and experiences. However, there’s a lot of competition for attention

when children are at home: video games, computers, cell phones, television

and movies. It sometimes feels like I am fighting a battle between screen

activity, boredom, and “mandatory fun”.

Last year, 100 Days of Summertime was born with the 2012 version. This

year, it is back with adjusted days and dates for 2014, plus some new ideas.

There are three members of the 100 Days series of eBooks. They are

written to take you through the busiest times of the year. Be sure to check

out our other members of the 100 Days family of blogs and eBooks: 100

Days of a New Year and 100 Days to Christmas.

100 Days of Summertime Begins!  

Welcome to “100 Days of Summertime” where you’ll

find inspiration for the summer of 2014!

This eBook is designed as a journey from the

unofficial beginning to the unofficial ending of

summer, which occurs around Memorial Day and

Labor Day respectively. It includes tips, activities, and reminders for the

end of school and graduation, summer holidays, summer foods, summer

travel, summer frolic, and even back to school.

Whether or not you have children, we hope you’ll find guidance and

inspiration in 100 Days of Summertime. Are you ready to get started?

Our first Summertime Strategy goal is to

create a summer planner. If you prefer a

three-ring binder, then you will need a

three-hole puncher, 5 to 8 tabbed

dividers (preferably with pockets), and

possibly a zipper pocket to hold pens and

odds-and-ends. If you prefer a more digital approach, try a folder on your

computer, a Pinterest board, Evernote, etc. A summer planner is a great

place to keep all of your activities, recipes, schedules, ideas, and lists. It will

become your “summer central” over the next 100 days.
