Ashley Chandler argues that memorable summers come from simple moments with your kids, not expensive trips or keeping up with other families. She offers mindset shifts and low-cost ideas to help families feel satisfied without the pressure of picture-perfect plans.

I am going to help you relieve a lot of that pressure and get your focus back to what actually matters in being able to create a summer that you feel like, man, that was a good one. We really made the most of that time. It has nothing to do with how much money you spend. It has nothing to do with fancy vacations or adventures or experiences or crossing off things off of a shoulds or a to-do list that the Joneses are doing.
