Summer Fun for Single Parent Superheroes!

Being a single parent in college and conquering summer break? YOU ARE AMAZING!

Here are some ideas to keep your cool (and your little ones entertained!) this summer:

β˜€οΈ Free/cheap fun: Explore local parks, libraries, or splash pads. Check your community calendar for free events!
‍‍‍ β˜€οΈ Family time adventures: Plan a picnic in the park, have a movie night under the stars, or build a fort.
β˜€οΈ Catch up on studies: Take advantage of quiet mornings or nap times to get ahead on coursework. (Don't forget to reward yourself!)
β€β˜€οΈ Self-care isn't selfish: Schedule time for relaxation – a bubble bath, reading a book, spending time with friends.

You've got this, single parent rockstars! Share your summer adventures and tips in the comments.
