Greetings from an awesome summer time! This is my first summer living in my new house on the lake, and I’ve been relishing afternoons on the water and time in the sun (with sunscreen, of course!). It’s from a place of pride and self-love that I can recall – many years and 130 pounds ago – a time in […]

What feels better than a day in which all your to-do’s are crossed off the list? The rare experience of “getting it all done” is empowering, thrilling, and deeply satisfying on all levels. But for every day we master time, we undoubtedly log twice as many feeling the pressure of deadlines, standing commitments, confused priorities […]

They follow you everywhere you go, at work and at home, tripping you up along the way until you deal with them and shut them […]
As noted thinker Simon Sinek teaches, the “why” is everything. Humans are undeniably moved by certain things – and it’s a unique phenomena for each of us. When I ask myself why I design family time.
