Becoming Screen Wise

as I call it! Over and over in my life, I have learned how challenging it can be to find a healthy balance with devices. As a teen, I was one of the first of my friends to get a phone with social media.

Our main goal going into the race, even more than aiming to win, was to be kind to one another no matter how hard and stressful it got.

If we are over-ambitious and set too many goals or...

​The Greatest Gift

I’m actually organized this year and have most of the gifts for my family ready to go! Stoked. My fav gift Adam gives me is endless supplies of massages.

For children gifts and actually all the other love languages...
