You’ve Been Egged!
A few years ago, I saw this idea of "Egging" people's houses floating around on Pinterest. The goal is to fill 11 out of 12 plastic eggs with goodies of sorts and then go hide all 12 of them in a neighbor's yard. Why only 11 out of 12? The 11th one represents the...
Enneagram
A friend of mine posted on social media about the Enneagram last week. It felt like such a gift to take a coffee break and focus on something besides homeschooling the kids and where we are on the "curve." My love for assessments started with the CliftonStrengths. It...

Dealing With Disappointment
Today should have been the first big Thursday of March Madness. It feels a little strange without the hype of the NCAA tournament, at least in our home. We are big March Madness people! About a month ago, my oldest Cole leaned over to me in the car and whispered,...
