Summertime can be a tricky season for moms. Our expectations can sometimes get the better of us. When we think of summer, there’s the promise of sunny, care-free days filled with outdoor fun and happy family moments. There’s the vision of lounging in the sunshine, reading those books we’ve been trying to find time for, and sipping a delicious iced coffee, without a care in the world.

Reality, however, can sometimes look like complaining kiddos, endless messes, and crankiness brought on by erratic sleep schedules.
