What do ancient Egypt birthday parties, gas leaks, E.R. trips, movie theater date nights, and 30 dozen donuts have in common? Absolutely nothing--but they are all things covered in Episode 40! We got to see each other IRL at Jordan’s son’s ancient Egypt themed 6th birthday party that coincidentally was on the same day as Helen’s husband’s birthday! Helen is heading into finals week and reflects on some of the unexpected discussions that happened throughout the semester. Jordan is not emotionally prepared for the end of the school year because that means kindergarten is almost over. We then dive into plans for how to “be tech wise” during the summer with an exciting announcement...drum roll please...Helen and Jordan are hosting a free summer book club! Jordan decided on a whim to put together a book club to read The Amazing Generation with kids ages 9-12. After pitching the idea to Helen, Jordan then (possibly too quickly) made a public announcement inviting the community to sign up. And guess what? Multiple families have already signed up! Jordan is prepping for library and parks department programs to help maintain a routine while also allowing for plenty of outdoor summer play. It won’t be a tech-free summer, but it will be tech-intentional.

Morton families, sign your 9-12 year-olds up for our Amazing Generation Summer Book Club.
