Welcome to a New Year! As with every new year, 2025 is full of possibilities and opportunities. I hope that you have all had a chance to reflect on the year that has passed. Regardless of how many crazy or not-so-good things that happened, we can all find some positive moments, growth moments, and even some adventure moments. As we…
Oh my gosh, you guys! I haven’t written anything in a long time! When summer came, things around here got very busy with camps, county fair, a quick trip to Okoboji, and moving our youngest to college.

It’s January! It’s 2024! And I am not as motivated as I would like to be. As I said when I posted the January Family Activity Calendar, I wasn’t fully ready to start the new year on January 1st. I needed a few days to reflect on the past month and past year as well as look ahead to what…
