7 Things Every Mom Should Do for the Most Energized, Fun & Free Summer with Your Kids

7 Things Every Mom Should Do for the Most Energized, Fun & Free Summer with Your Kids ☀️

Mama, you were made to thrive this summer — not just survive it. Whether you’ve got a baby on your hip or a crew of wild ones running through the sprinkler, you set the tone. So let’s build a rhythm that fills you up, fuels your joy, and points your babies to Jesus.

Here are 7 habits to anchor your day in truth, energy, and fun:

1. Time in the Word of God — First Thing Every Day
Before the chaos, before the dishes, before someone calls “Mom!” for the 19th time — meet with the One who gives you strength.

📖 “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” – Matthew 6:33

Mama, when you fill up with truth before the to-do list, everything flows differently. You’ll parent from peace, not pressure.

2. Read Scripture With the Kids Over Breakfast 🥣
This can be one verse and one sentence of reflection — no need to overcomplicate it. Just sowing daily seeds into their hearts.

📖 “These commandments… impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home…” – Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Make it part of the breakfast table. Simple. Sweet. Eternal impact.

3. Journal + Pray (Even Just 5 Minutes!) 📝🙏
Mama, your thoughts matter. Processing with God helps release the weight you carry, and gives you His perspective.

📖 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7

Don’t wait until you're overwhelmed. Pour it out before the pot boils over. Invite your kids to journal too, if they’re old enough!

4. Move Your Body Before You Start Chasing Kids 🏃‍♀️
Whether it’s a walk, a dance party, or squats while baby’s in the bouncer — movement helps release stress and build energy for the day.

📖 “She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.” – Proverbs 31:17

You don’t need a gym. You need intention. Move your body, wake up your brain, and steward your strength.

5. Fuel with Nourishing Food (and Make it Fun!) 🍓🥗
You wouldn’t fuel your van with soda — don’t do it to your body. Your energy is directly tied to how you eat. Plus, your kids are watching!

📖 “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

Let food be worship. Make colorful plates. Invite your kids into it — from garden to table or fridge to fork.

6. Supplement Your Health with Wisdom and Intention 💊✨
Our modern food just doesn’t cut it. Supplements help fill the gap and support your gut, hormones, energy, and mood — especially during full mom days.

📖 “The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.” – Proverbs 22:3

Be wise. Be proactive. Investing in your health is investing in your family.

7. Anchor Yourself in Community + Accountability 🫶
You were never meant to do this alone. Surround yourself with women who are choosing truth over chaos and habits over burnout.

📖 “Two are better than one… if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Isolation steals joy. Community multiplies it. We need each other to stay consistent when life gets messy.

✨ Imagine ending this summer more energized than when it started.
More joyful. More grounded. More present.

That’s what happens when you put Jesus first, fuel your body, and build strong rhythms that serve your family — not drain you.
