Hope to hear from you.We’re pressing pause on our Room by Room series for a moment and turning our attention to something deeper: grounding our homes in the heart of summer.In this slower stretch — where the excitement of summer has faded and boredom starts to creep in — we’re embracing the idea that less can actually be more.This episode is all about the beauty of unstructured days, especially for kids ages 9–14, and why letting them be “a little bored” can actually create space for creativity, independence, and deeper connection.We’ll talk about:Why every moment doesn’t need to be filledHow open afternoons can shape imagination and calmWhat it means to ground our homes in peace and presence this seasonYou’ll hear stories from our own homes, encouragement for your own rhythms, and a gentle invitation to create space for stillness in your family this week.Support the show
