Summer Madness and Keeping Calm

How Working Moms Can Balance Work, Kids, and Summer Camps Without Losing Their Cool! ( Is this even possible?)

Working moms? We feel you! Who doesn’t love summer and it’s - seemingly- chilled out schedule, camping trips, water fights, later movie nights and summer heat?  For all the goodness summer brings, it can also be a juggling nightmare for many parents.

We’ve tried our best to put together this  guide for working moms that offers practical tips on managing kids, summer camps, remote work, and staying relaxed — plus wardrobe ideas to stay cool and confident.

 ☀️Summer Survival Tips for Working Moms

Here’s your guide to balancing work and family life during summer — with real-life strategies and practical tips to help you stay calm, organized, and even a little bit stylish.

🗓 1. Plan Ahead — But Stay Flexible

Creating a structured schedule can help you stay on top of everything — from summer camp drop-offs to Zoom meetings. Use tools like:

1. Google Calendar (share with your partner or older kids)

• A weekly whiteboard planner
• Camp schedules printed and pinned where everyone can see

But remember — flexibility is key. Leave buffer time between events for snack breaks, last-minute errands, or those days when everything runs late.

👗 2. Summer Wardrobe Ideas for Busy Moms. Here’s where our expertise comes in!

Looking polished and staying cool doesn’t have to be hard. Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like bamboo or linen/cottons  and versatile basics you can wear to work (even if it’s from your kitchen table) or while running errands.

Ideal wardrobe staples:

Bamboo jumpsuits like our Reversible romper or Palazzo romper that keeps you cool while looking summery and stylish. Plus:

• Simple loose tank dresses like our Solara dress that can be layered effortlessly 
• Denim shorts like our Chambray shorts 
• Comfortable slip-on sandals
• An easy crossbody purse that keep your hands free

Pro tip: Keep a cute hair clip and tinted lip balm nearby — small touches that make a big difference on busy days.

💆♀️ 3. Prioritize Self-Care (Even in 10-Minute Doses)

Self-care doesn’t have to mean an entire spa day. For working moms, it’s often found in short, intentional moments:

• A quiet morning coffee
• A walk after dinner
• 15 minutes of yoga or journaling
• Listening to a podcast while folding laundry

Relaxed moms are better equipped to handle summer chaos, so make time for yourself — and don’t feel guilty about it.

4. Choose the Right Summer Camps

Not every camp fits every family. Look for programs that align with your work hours and your child’s energy level. Bonus if the camp:

• Offers early drop-off or extended care
• Is close to home or work
• Provides carpooling options

Mix structured activities with downtime. Kids need free time just as much as they need enrichment.

💻 5. Set Work-Life Boundaries (Especially If You’re Remote)

If you’re working from home, make your boundaries crystal clear. Create visual signals like a closed door or “work time” sign. Set your kids up with:

• Snack stations
• Art bins or activity kits
• A “Summer Fun List” of things to do independently

Balancing work and kids at home is tough, but with some structure and patience, it gets easier.

💕 6. Progress Over Perfection: Give Yourself Grace

Some days you’ll ace a meeting and forget to pack lunch. Other days, the kids will argue nonstop, and the laundry will stay unfolded. And that’s okay.

Celebrate small wins — they matter. You’re showing up, doing your best, and setting an amazing example for your kids.
