Hey Reader! Yesterday there were an AWS outage in the US, which caused issues for hundreds of businesses, websites and others around the world. Luckily they've been able to restore everything. But because this affected when you received emails - and whether or not you received them at all, either from us or others during the whole day of yesterday, we've decided to extend the early bird bonus until tomorrow, Wednesday at 11:59AM. If you've been thinking about the Ultimate Family Productivity...

That’s why I design every resource inside this HOUSE | your HOME to help you take...

Hi Reader! For many years my family and I have participated in the Chicagoland Buddy Walk. Since the pandemic, we haven't gotten back into it. This year, we’re back!! 🎉 But not in our usual way… As some of you know, my oldest daughter has Down syndrome and autism. She’s now 20 years old, which means our family has stepped into a new season—caring for an adult with special needs. While this feels normal for us, it’s definitely a different journey than the typical American family. That brings...
