It's hard to believe that it's already been six weeks since our summer holidays began; but then, on the other hand, thinking of all the traveling I did, the places I saw, the people I spent time with, the books I read, the beautiful memories I made, well, then it's not surprising that we are about to return to school. It's just that time has flown by, once again... I hope your summer was unbelievably good, and I can’t wait to hear all about it when we see each other again next week. Enjoy this last full week of holidays. Here are a few ideas on what you might enjoy doing until school reopens: Organize an end-of-summer brunch, tea or dinner during which the whole family can share their favorite summer memories. Create a summer / holiday collage including people you met, places you visited, special foods you ate, activities and highlights, books you read... Chat with your family about the new school year: what are you looking forward to? | Get in some more reading time! |
