If your family is anything like mine, you have about 5 free nights each month. Between baseball, softball, volleyball, chorus, band concerts, and every other competition or event you can think of, we’re constantly going. But we all go together and cheer each other on. We show up for each other. When we can, that…
This is super nerdy, but I’ve always loved door locks. I installed hundreds of them when I was in industrial maintenance, and I even considered starting a side hustle as a locksmith (I still do sometimes). And, as someone who’s been around a lot of locks, I got pretty good at figuring out how to…

Everyday Family Rituals is a new series I’m putting together. The intention of this series is just to share some of the things we do in our family to stay connected (when we can). We’re far from perfect, but we’re pretty tight-knit for being such a big family. As my first entry in this prolific…
