Ep 87 - Why Updating Your Older Loved One Matters: From Summer Camp to Sourdough Starters
Description
While my daughter’s away at summer camp and my husband’s camping with our boys, you’d think I’d be enjoying some rare alone time—but honestly, I just want to hear from them. In this episode, I reflect on how something as simple as a letter or a quick update can mean everything—whether you’re a kid at camp or a parent later in life. I also share a fun camp letter-writing hack and my second chance with this sourdough starter that I got from an older friend. This one’s all about staying connected, being remembered, and why little updates matter so much—especially as we age.
Highlights:
- Alone time as a mom
- Hearing from your kids at camp
- That second-chance at keeping a sourdough starter alive!
