Summer with a toddler is bright, messy, loud, and surprisingly sacred. From squeaky sandals on the patio to backyard splash pads and evening family walks, these days are full of simple rhythms that shape both of us.
In this episode of Threshold, I’m reflecting on what toddler summers teach me about slowing down, embracing repetition, and finding joy in the ordinary.
In this episode, I share:
-The backyard rhythms that make up our toddler summer (splash pad, bubbles, and a rotating toy collection)
-How nap times have become a daily reset for both of us
-Why toddler routines—snacks, rest, early dinners—are grounding for moms too
-The gift of spontaneous adventures mixed with steady structure
-A simple prayer I find myself returning to at the end of each day
