I made a big change for this year to make homeschooling my daughter easier. I have all part-time children (not by choice, but it's what I've got). So I decided to cap one day's enrollment to 3 kids (what fits in my car), so that we can do more farther-afield field trips. We decided that for September and October at least, we would spend every Monday morning hiking. So for three weeks, we've headed out first thing and spent the whole morning in the woods somewhere (snack and lunch included). Come back exhausted and head straight to nap. Today was
our third hike, and I'm LOVING it. It really helps with that Sunday night "ugh, I have to work tomorrow!" feeling. More hiking was a personal goal for my daughter and I, and it's really hard to fit everything into weekends, so finding time for it during the week has been wonderful.
