Emo days.

How do we model navigating our own sense of overwhelm for our kids? Maybe we just live in the moment with them.

You ever go through a season of life where you feel like you’re taking the same lesson over and over?

Yesterday we built a template for dreaming together as families. It was restorative.

We can learn a lot about ourselves from how we handle uncertainty.

Why Sunday evening pick-up games have become my place of refuge.

The best hour we could spend to close out one year and usher in the next.

My new favorite part of Christmas seems to be the day afterwards… because there are no expectations for how I get to spend my time.

I’m learning that family gatherings don’t have to be as high stakes as we make them out to be. The magic is in simply being together.

Lately the girls and I have been breaking out into spontaneous song and dance parties. And I’m all here for it.

Every giving Tuesday I’m reminded of the myriad of ways that so many different people have intervened to impact the trajectory of my life.
