A gift for you- shortcuts to family conversation & connection
|
Hi friends! I have a free gift for you! Sometimes the best family connection happens during ordinary life-type moments- But starting meaningful conversations with kids isn’t always easy. You ask your kids a thoughtful question, and the reply is, “I don’t know.” 🙄 You try to spark a conversation, and get a one-word answer. You crave connection, but the moment passes before it even begins. It's frustrating! That’s why I created Around the Table: Conversation Starters for Busy Families. It’s filled with simple prompts, fun questions, and easy talking games to help families laugh, listen, share stories, and enjoy each other a little more. 🎁 And today, I’m sharing the first 15 pages with you for free. 🎁 You can print them or simply save the PDF to your phone. Pull them out anytime your family has a few minutes together. Click here to get the first 15 pages of Around the Table. I hope this free gift makes your family time feel a little sweeter this summer! Here’s to more laughter, better conversations, and moments that matter. All my best, |

But feeling left out is something everyone experiences at times—even us adults. So let’s look at how we can help our kids handle those hard...
Happy Friday! I’m so excited for next week because I get to visit my childhood friend Suzie. We met in fifth grade when she rode her bike past my house, spotted me in the front yard, stopped in the driveway, and said, "Hi, I'm Suzie!"All these years later, she’s still one of my dearest friends. She’s known me through so many seasons of life, and maybe best of all, my whole family adores her too. It’s a sweet reminder that the friendship skills our kids are learning now really can matter for a...
