The opposite of a good idea might also be a good idea.



Happy Monday! This might be more for you than for your kids (depending on their age), but you know I love a deep dive and here's one into the evolution of St Nicholas, mall Santas and all things in between. 



New recipe: What is better than caramels? Homemade caramels that you can gift to friends and family! Here's a recipe that makes a lot of tasty treats to gift (and enjoy yourself!) https://www.heprecipe.com/post/grandma-s-caramels



Here we are with episode 3 from our series talking about Foreign Service kids and College.  This time, Hannah and I talk about money.  How to figure costs, what is need, what is merit and other kinds of aid, and how can we make going to university a bit more accessibly, financially-speaking.  It's a very different ballgame than when we parents went to university!  Grab your notebook and get ready to take a deep dive into finances for university.  




New post: If nothing else, be consistent and be present.  Be an adventurer with your kids.  Your tasks and to-do list can wait.

Physical Health


Eat Well


Protein from plants versus animals: let's discuss.


Be Active


Keep on showing up in your activity of choice for as long as you can.  It matters to stick to it.


Let's move!


This timer includes two groups of 10 exercises.  You do one group for 45 seconds each move, then the other, and then you'll do all of them together in one mega group, 20 seconds per move.  I know, sounds like a lot but I know you can do it.  Ready?  Start your music!



Spiritual Health


"Many of the moments when you think, 'I wish I had handled that better,' or 'I should have seen that more clearly,' aren't really about poor judgment. Often, the root cause is either rushing through the task or skipping basic self-care.


Get an extra hour of sleep. Stop trying to do so many things at once. Go for a walk or get a little exercise. Take a breath and actually think for a minute.


You can do a few things well. You can't do everything well. If you keep scattering your attention across seven different priorities, you'll keep making mistakes that your rested and thoughtful mind would never make."



Mental & Emotional Health


Personality makes you who you are… so who are you?



Social Health


Ever been around someone that seems like they just know what is going on with everyone in the room?  A genius people reader?  Yes, they are awesome, but also, it is a combination of skills.



Be your best, friends
