I’ve hit the parenting ski milestone where my kids know more places on the mountain than I do

My desire to ditch the smartphone is akin to many other goals for the new year

Scraping by in the Flathead Valley is no longer feasible

Winter makes you feel like a kid

There is a great need all around us, and I’m thankful that this community tirelessly responds to that need

The simple pleasure of reading every day to your kid has a massive positive impact on their development

What will change for us to view phones as dangerous and unhealthy as cigarettes?

We don’t have to live through this as if it were normal times

Autumn offers us an opportunity to prepare for the cold, the dark, and the quiet

Bewildering, exhausting, hilarious, and joyful in ways I never even anticipated

An unexpected stop turned into one of the most magical parts of our trip to my ancestral homeland

Good thing most of my husband's gear comes with a warranty

We need to take steps to prevent wild places from being loved to death

I’m becoming an anti-optimizer, a do nothing-er, and a maker

This declaration shook the world, and we continue to shock the world
