Since January 11, I’ve spent 16 nights away from home in 9 cities, from California to Texas, Georgia to North Carolina, and all over Wisconsin (hence the combined issue). On a recent trip, my husband said, “Thank you for how we live. You’ve made it so easy when you’re not here.”
That hit me. The ease comes from living intentionally. Our home runs on systems and rhythms that support us, even in my absence. While “mom guilt” still creeps in sometimes, knowing our habits keep things steady helps me show up fully wherever I am.
