This Week's Call To Connect

Check out the new Family Movie Night recaps & find something to laugh about with your kids.

Check out the ever-growing archive in our Family Movie Night Collection.

PS: Little Feminist Book Club, an organization supporting #OwnVoices targeted kidlit authors, needs your help. Due to the recession, they’re down 298 subscriptions as members cut costs and services. Share the code RAINBOW for 20% a book club membership for yourself or as a gift.

PPS: We’ve got family celebrations for the Lunar New Year and then a big surgery right after. So expect lots of goodies in the next couple weeks to enjoy while I’m in recovery through February & March.

PPPS: Join our discussion group chat on identifying healthy, declining, and abusive friendships. This week, we’re unpacking the individual and systemic threats that keep us in cycles of draining & harmful relationships.
