As the end of summer approaches and the school bells prepare to chime once more here in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, I find myself reflecting on how quickly summer has flown. ☀️ It seems like just yesterday we were packing our bags for our summer adventures Stateside. Now, with jet lag slowly fading, it's time to focus on the exciting transition ahead: back to school! 📓📚 To make this shift from vacation mode to school mode smoother and more memorable for my two girls, we've embarked on our annual "Back to School Jumpstart Challenge." This isn't just about ticking off items on a checklist; it's about infusing these final days of summer with purpose, fun, and family bonding. 🤗 Reflecting on Summer Memories Our first activity? A delightful session of drawing and doodling to capture our favorite summer moments. From beach adventures to family outings, putting markers to paper not only brings out our creative sides but also allows us to reminisce and appreciate all the amazing experiences we've had together over the summer. Here's a glimpse of what we created last year, a colorful tapestry of our summer experiences 🖍️ Join Us in the Challenge!
Whether you're in Abidjan, or another corner of the globe, I invite you to join us in our "Back to School Jumpstart Challenge." Embrace these last precious moments of summer with purpose and fun, creating memories that will last well beyond the school year using my list of ideas for you and your kiddo(s)! I'm going to do something each day until school starts! Some from the list, some not from the list. I would love to hear any ideas you have! Make sure to share them in the Toolbox Facebook Community.
