You ever have one of those moments—folding towels or stirring dinner—when it hits you: This is the season I always dreamed of? That’s where I’m at right now. My oldest is heading to college, summer flew by, and back-to-school season is knocking.

In the middle of the chaos—supplies, schedules, nerves—I want to share one tradition that grounds our family every year: our Back-to-School Dinner. It’s simple, meaningful, and has become a powerful way to connect before the busyness begins.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

• What our dinner looks like 
• How to pick a family theme that sticks all year
• Little ways to make it special—without the overwhelm
• How to breathe peace and confidence into your kids

You don’t need a perfect setup—just your presence. This tradition isn’t about the meal. It’s about reminding your kids who they are, where they belong, and that home is their soft place to land.
