It’s official! Elle is nine! We did a some celebrating with our little family, and she looks forward to more celebrating with our extended family.

We received a physical copy of the Middle School Composition book and Teacher’s Guide, but a digital option is also available. With a targeted audience of 5th to […]
I was so excited for this series on connecting as a family and increasing joy. I brainstormed a whole list of ideas, one for each letter of the alphabet. It felt amazing to make that list, and I looked forward to exploring a new topic each week. I got through “E,” and then Mateo got […]
