Worrying too much about the kids?

PLUS - how to have great Dad style


The weekend has arrived. A couple things before the weekly recap:

  • Gave the website a refresher. See it here.

  • The Built for More Community is launching in just a couple of weeks, and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s been amazing getting to connect with some of you on Google Meet recently. Can’t wait to officially kick things off.

Have a great weekend. See you Monday!
