Spent the day mulching between the raised beds and soaking up some sunshine. It felt so good to just be in the dirt.

Raised beds make it easier to stay on top of weeds, and they’re also part of Step 5 of Shanker Self-Reg, restoring energy. When we tend to the things that refuel us, we show up better for everything else.

Getting the garden ready now is exactly that. It sets us up for a calmer summer, less to manage when we’re spending long days at the lake, and more energy to just enjoy it.

Growing our own food brings something deeper too. Food security is wealth.

The empty beds get filled today. What’s growing in your garden this season?

How’s that?

Cursive isn’t outdated, it’s actually a powerful tool for dyslexic brains. 🧠✍️

Connected letters reduce reversals, build motor memory, and engage both hemispheres of the brain in ways typing simply can’t.

And after a year of screens being pushed as the “solution”? Going analog is giving the brain exactly what it was missing: deep focus, sensory engagement, and a real hand-brain connection.

Sometimes the old way is the better way.

48 grams of protein! I’m not doing anything fancy. Greek yogurt, a shot of espresso, some beef isolate vanilla ices cream protein powder, a few Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins, cacao nibs on top. That’s it. Some days that’s enough. Some days that’s everything. 💛 Building muscle, building resilience!

Math-U-See with Mr. Demme + Times Tales + Denison Math with Mr. Denison has been a game-changer in our home. Also, integrating learning into our everyday lives (baking, starting a little micro-bakery, and studying pi whole tapping for maple syrup) has completely changed the energy and understanding towards math!
Hope, hold onto it! With a regulated nervous system, anything is possible!

Homeschooling hasn’t just changed how she learns. It’s changed how she sees herself.

Some food for thought on "Honour Roll":

In our home, we lead with an understanding of the nervous system. We respond rather than react. We co-regulate so our kids can return to a place where they feel safe, connected, and ready to learn - not every child has this support.

One of our children fits neatly into the small "box" of the school system—achieving honour roll, excelling in traditional academics, and thriving within structured expectations. We celebrate their hard work and achievements.

Our other child doesn’t fit that box. They learn differently, think differently, and experience the world in a way that doesn’t always align with grades, test scores, or standard measures of success. And we celebrate them just as much.

We know intelligence isn’t just about marks. It’s in creativity, emotional depth, problem-solving, and resilience. It’s in how a child sees the world, navigates challenges, and brings their unique gifts to life.

So yes, we’re proud of our honour roll student. But we’re also profoundly proud of the one who learns outside the lines. Because every child is worthy, seen, and celebrated—whether or not they fit inside the box. ❤️

As Dr. Stuart Shanker says “See a child differently and you’ll see a different child”.

🚨 Truth Bomb 🚨

Confession time: It takes me a few days to read through workshop feedback forms. I tend to be hard on myself, which might be a sign that my nervous system is dysregulated (cue the monkey mind 🐒). But here's the thing - I'm grateful for all the feedback. It helps me shift, tweak, and evolve as a facilitator. Plus, it serves as a beautiful reminder that I'm on the right path.

Speaking of gratitude, I'm overflowing with it for the amazing workshops I've facilitated this week. So, let me ask you - what are you grateful for? Let's share some positivity and uplift each other today! 🙌
