Schedule your downtime as seriously as work meetings. Knowing you have a break to look forward to makes work more productive and kids more patient. Put it on the calendar and honor it.
This Easter, my parents came to visitโand my mom asked a simple question:
๐ โCould we decorate Easter eggs together?โ
We sat around the table laughing, decorating eggs, and simply being together. And somewhere in the middle of that ordinary momentโฆ it became meaningful.
My parents turn 90 this year. This may have been our last Easter together.
And now decorating Easter eggs wonโt just be an activityโit will forever represent our time together.
Thatโs the power of shared projects and traditions.
They make love visible.
They turn fleeting moments into something concrete we can hold onto.
So hereโs the question:
โจ What project could you create with your kids that would become a lasting reminder of your connection together?

Yes! I am all for having a passion and a purpose, but if that is all we talk to our kids about, we make adulthood seem too heavy and serious.
How are you modeling for your kids that adulthood is fun? What are you laughing at? What are you expressing your pleasure about?

Create systems to streamline your life. For example, use a pre-typed shopping list, plan a two-week menu, and have a set shopping day.
These small changes can make your household run smoothly and free up mental space.

๐Connection is key.
When children begin to act out, we do a quick mental check:
Are they tired?
Are they hungry?
Did something happen to them at school?
To that, we should always add the question: Is my child feeling disconnected?
A disconnected child is almost always an uncooperative one.
