The transition from summer to fall is coming up and for some reason it’s always around this time of year that I start to think about balance. Maybe it’s because the equinox is this month.

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…

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…
Respect Blog and Journal Prompts
Respect shows itself in different ways. Everything from the respect we give someone who’s older than us, respect we show authority, and even our own self-respect. 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.
