Ok, I am going to try to squeeze in a quick little Thursday ditty here before the stroke of midnight because tomorrow is Christmas Eve and if that’s a holiday you celebrate then I hope you will consider a screen time sabbatical for the next 48 hours and soak in all the presence (see what…

Thursday Afterthoughts
Well if there’s one thing you can count on around here it’s that I’m not always meeting my goals which is how Thursday Thoughts turned itself today into Friday’s afterthought. It seems there are more things to do than hours in the day and that just never stops being true. Not only do I run…
Time Is Hard
I'm doing a little re-run series because I want to post consistently but I don't have enough posts yet to keep 'em coming so we are gonna share some words I've written for other sites and give them a permanent home on this site. So, without further ado... With each passing year as we draw…
Milo Monday and Factory Resets
Have you ever taken away your kids electronics and then realized that the one you have actually punished is yourself? Yea. That happened. But also, something else cool happened.

Milo Monday and a Yummy Recipe
It's already the Monday after Thanksgiving. I don't know about you but this holiday weekend flew by and we are officially in the "after the 1st of the year season!" This time of year is my absolute favorite. I mean for all the obvious reasons like people are nicer and all the lights glowing after…
Thursday Thoughts: Thanksgiving Edition
I only have one thought I'm thinking today and other than all the delicious food I plan to consume, it's this. Well, hold on, I actually have a little more suspense that I think I'd like to build up. Yea. I do. I could go into a whole spiel (read shh-peel because who knows how…
