This July, I’m taking on an “Analog Summer” challenge: unplugging from my devices whenever I’m at home. Instead, I’ll be spending more time reading, playing games, getting outside, and being more present with my family.

A big reason I’m doing this is for my kids. I want to model what it looks like to disconnect and be intentional with our time, especially when screens can so easily take over and impact kids in ways we don’t always realize.

I’m also taking on this challenge to support the incredible work of Catholic Charities. Their programs provide counseling, foster care, Children’s Advocacy Center services, the children’s trauma assessment center and other vital support for kids and families in our community.

If you’d like to support both my challenge and these life-changing services, I’d be so grateful for your donation. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!
