This is difficult for me as I enjoying buying. I have gotten better about purchasing items and really asking myself if I need it or want it and is it good for our family finances.

Christie Kracker 10/21/2018 4:06 PMAs a family we are going to commit to at least one weekend a month that we will be tech/ screen free so that we are spending more time with each other. We are going to go social media free for the Thanksgiving Holiday and no individual screen time (family TV/ movie time only). -
Christie Kracker 10/16/2018 7:18 PMThe last two days have been spent being present with 55 young people from our community. The first thing we did was put down our phones and be present with each other as we shared our vulnerability, spoke our truth, and committed to making a change. It is the work that renews my soul. Thankful for the opportunity to work with the Middle School Peer Leadership retreat. -
