Good morning. I’ve been thinking about how the moments that stay with our kids aren’t really the big, expensive ones. They’re the small, ordinary experiences that quietly become memories.
This edition is about exactly that: using simple activities to spark connection and laughter, and letting go of the things that weigh us down. There’s joy here, reflection here, and a reminder that you don’t need much to create meaning in your life. Just a little intention.
Take a breath. Let’s keep going together.

What do you need to let go of?
For years, Mara carried the memory like a stone in her pocket. Small enough to ignore most days, heavy enough to slow her steps. It showed up in quiet moments. Late nights. The spaces where peace should have been.
One afternoon, while cleaning out an old drawer, she found the note she had kept folded and refolded until the edges softened. She read it once, then again, and felt the familiar ache rise. But this time, something shifted. She saw how tightly she’d been holding on, believing the weight was proof that it mattered.
Mara took a breath and let the paper fall into the trash.
Nothing dramatic happened. The world didn’t pause. But as she walked away, her shoulders felt lighter. She realized letting go wasn’t about forgetting. It was about choosing freedom over carrying what no longer served her.
And for the first time in a long while, she moved forward unburdened.

“I am thrilled with the family movie club. My younger kiddos can be involved, yet my older kids were engaged too. We easily put together the recipe for the movie Elemental, and it all felt like a cohesive evening. I love that it is all done for me…I have always wanted to put all of these types of activities together, but I can never find the time.” – Rachel E
