I am sorry to say that I am going to have to cancel the podcast for this week because I was not able to secure a speaker for our podcast today. We also are suffering from end-of-the-year craziness in our family with school coming to a close, making my time more limited.
I so enjoy doing these podcasts, but I think it would be best to take a break from the show for the summer. It will be difficult to do these shows with both kids home and my daughter not napping anymore. There is a great deal of work and effort that go into each of these episodes.
If you guys really enjoy this, I can definitely consider picking it back up in the fall when the kids are in school and I am able to devote a little more time to it.
In all honesty, we are trying to enjoy a relatively schedule-free summer and this would free up some time for me to spend with my children this summer. Being a mom is quite the juggling act, isn’t it? I am trying to learn to prioritize my commitments and hanging out with my beautiful kids this summer is #1 on my list. I hope you understand!
sounds like you’re making the best decision for you and your family, amy. enjoy your summer. looking forward to the new things fall will bring!

We understand–you are trying to be a good mom, the most important and difficult task of all! Don’t feel bad for making family time a priority. More people should do just that.

I sure will miss the podcasts. I can’t listen to them live, but I enjoy them after my kids are in bed. But spending time with your kids is important. I can’t imagine trying to get it done with my kids around! Thanks for the great site Amy!

Amy, I would love to do a podcast with you talking about “Creating Happy Memories” in the fall if you think that would be appropriate.
Everyone is trying to save money without sacrificing family traditions and of course still creating wonderful family memories.
Have a wonderful summer with your precious children.

Pam- Thank you so much for offering to be my guest when the show comes back in the fall- I would so love that!
Thank you all for being understanding about this. I am looking forward to a carefree summer and taking a break from the podcast will free up more time for the kiddos.

Amy you just go and enjoy being a mommy and have a great summer! I think I’d lose my mind if I had to try to do a live podcast with everyone at home!

Life is about balance. Do not let anything keep you from your family. Best of luck.
