August Writing Prompts
This past month I’ve been thinking about all the achievements my kids have had in their short lives. Especially those achievements they have a hard time recognizing as an accomplishment. Sometimes it’s hard to see that even a little progress is an achievement even if you haven’t reached the final goal. It’s also not always…
August Achievement Social Media Challenge #SunshineYourFeed
We’re in the heart of summer so I think it’s a great time to take a journey through our lives and celebrate the many achievements we’ve accomplished over the years. All too often people focus on the things that didn’t go right in their lives. This month, we’re going to look back and focus on…

A Reminder to be Patient
We’ve been busy lately. When are we not busy? While driving the kids to one of their many activities and needing to pick up a couple more kids to take along I found myself behind the slowest drivers ever. In all lanes with no way to pass. Come to think of it, this has been…
The Power of an Undo List
I am the queen of to do lists. You’ll rarely find me without my to do list, and it became even easier for me when I started keeping a bullet journal. Everything is in one spot so I always have the list with me. My to do list never has just a couple of items…

You can show it, earn it, give it, even expect it. This month, in line with the #SunshineYourFeed challenge, we’re going to explore the many faces of respect in…

Making Healthy Choices with 4-H Food Smart Families
In addition to the clubs, programs, contests, and educational resources, 4-H also does a lot for the community. They provide opportunities and encourage kids to get out in the community to volunteer. Since 2001, one of the amazing program opportunities 4-H offers in partnership with United Healthcare is 4-H Food Smart Families.
Almost 16 million children live in households that are food insecure. This means they don’t have consistent access to food year round. The Food Smart Families program works with these families to educate them on how to plan, shop for and prepare healthy meals.
In the past six years 340,000 youth and their families in 14 states have benefitted from healthy living programs provided by the partnership between United Healthcare and 4-H.
Relaxation Blog and Journal Prompts
Summer is just around the corner and I’m ready for some rest and relaxation! It’s vacation season! We’ve already taken a couple day trips this year so far, but I’m looking forward to some more adventures. We’re more of a spontaneous family so you never know when or where we’ll decide to pick up and…
