Monthly Roundup: March!
Here are some visual ways to remember the ideas suggested this month!
Hello, friends. It’s been a heavy month as the world continues to grieve for Ukraine, but I hope March has been sweet and meaningful for you.
This week you won’t be receiving the regular newsletters, but instead I made some visual references so you can quickly remember ideas we’ve shared here in the past month. You can save these to your phone as a reminder, and there’s a printable version at the bottom of the email. Hopefully this helps!
Here are some discussion questions to talk about with your kids or a loved one! Also, feel free to talk about these things (and the questions at the bottom) by replying to this email or leaving a comment. I love the little community we have so far on here.

Discussion Thread
How has pondering “attentiveness” been helpful for you? What are some sweet families your family made this month? Did you try the Slow Tech challenge or read Digital Minimalism? How did it go for you?
Loving the summary!!! I hope you can see the fruits of your labor and your awesomeness!!! I hope you are able to find a second to breath this week and know what a blessing this sweet community has been to my family!
Love the summary.
I have been "pondering attentiveness" a good bit this month thanks to your newsletter. I hang out with 15-20 second graders once a week, and seeing their reaction to a little one-on-one bonus attentiveness has been so interesting and rewarding for our relationships. Thanks, Hope for the reminding us of these things.
