As a former teacher and a mom, education and empowering young minds is super important to me. 

Itโ€™s time to unleash the civic champion in your kids with the National Civics Bee ๐Ÿ by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation! Itโ€™s more than a competition; itโ€™s a journey to ignite civic passion and community impact. The portal is OPEN from Nov 13, 2023, to Jan 8, 2024 at nationalcivicsbee.org. ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ Letโ€™s empower the next generation of leaders and teach our kids the importance of being a good citizen! ๐ŸŒโœจ

Does anyone else have a hard time relaxing in thei Does anyone else have a hard time relaxing in their own house?

The past month I have worked harder than I have in my whole life. Iโ€™m ssooo thankful for my job, but I am seven kinds of burnt out. 

Iโ€™ve been working 13+ hour days 5 days a week, and working several hours on the weekends, and my health is suffering (physically and mentally!) Throw on top the personal things we have been going through and itโ€™s been a lot. 

Bobby doesnโ€™t โ€œget itโ€ but I am incapable of relaxing in my own house. I look around and there are too many things that need to be done. So if I truly want to relax, I have to leave my house so Iโ€™m not distracted by all the things. 

So Iโ€™m leaving for a few days. Yes itโ€™s still my busy season but I have been working hard to work ahead so that I can do this. Plus Iโ€™m bringing my laptop so I can work while Iโ€™m gone.

So where am I going? While it wonโ€™t be warm enough to do as this photo suggests, I am going to the BEACH to visit my cousin and relax! 

Do I feel guilty? Yes. Do I feel like if I donโ€™t do something to recharge for a few days I will have a breakdown? Also yes. There is no shame in admitting you need a break, even from the ones you love. We all need some alone time now and again!

So I am giving myself the gift of solitude and rest this year. Just for a few days. I leave today after EKโ€™s basketball game, so if you want to see what Iโ€™m up to be sure to follow along, I will still be posting and working just with fewer distractions! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿซ

#ad Have a tween that is hard to shop for? ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Also want a gift that gives back and teaches them about helping others? I have the perfect idea for you! ๐ŸŒŸ

@earth_rangers adoption kits are a unique gift idea that help animals in need. 
Pick from the Common Loon, Harbor Seal, Jaguar, Polar Bear, Red Panda, Red Fox, River Otter, and the Western Bumblebee as your gift. 

Your child will get an adoption certificate, plush animal, and a poster with info about their animal. 

Every kit purchased makes a direct contribution to the protection of wildlife. It's a great reminder and teaching tool that the holidays are more about giving than receiving. What a great lesson to teach our kids!

Which animal would you choose? Have you started shopping yet?
