Welcome July - Let's get organised

Hello Hubsters,

My working week is fully consumed with summer holiday talk….

☀️ I’m a marketing manager for this dance company and over the next few days, I’m sharing posts on social media, trying to get people signed up to their summer school.

☀️ Also, I’m digital officer for this project, and have just finished writing a newsletter full of summer holiday day out inspiration.

☀️ Finally, my other clients, I have told them the week I am going to be AWAY on holiday, so I’m banking up my hours to enable me to take the week off guilt free.

Summer is certainly on it’s way and there is a LOT to think about. Am I right, mums?

For July’s check-in, it is going to be heavily “summer holiday” focused. Why?

Well, two reasons really:

1. I need to get myself organised if I’m going to survive the summer holidays, juggling work and making time for FUN.

2. Summer is an invite to slow down and take a break. The only way mums can take a break? If we thoroughly plan it first.

Below is a summer survival toolkit for you to download, but first, let’s tick off the first of the month tasks:

• Invoicing/accounts and set budget for the month ahead (if applicable). This month is split with two weeks term time and the following weeks are in the school holidays. I’m trying to save for the holidays, meaning I’m being tight on spending leading up to that. Do you do this too?

• Top up just enough school dinner money to see you through to the end of term.

• If you haven’t already, start school uniform shopping now. It helps spread the cost as well as giving you one less thing to worry during the holidays.
