REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Family Game HourHow does being playful with others enrich your life?
Emily Katzin 10/21/2020 8:38 AMWe've had a lot of great conversations with our friends in Minnesota and California, and have laughed a lot doing our online game nights. We've also played some new games with friends that we haven't played before and were able to share them with other friends. It has made me happy to be connecting more frequently with friends that live further away during the pandemic. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Buy From a Farmers MarketWhat is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?
Emily Katzin 10/14/2020 9:58 AMI prepare almost all of my meals at home and only get takeout once a week or less on average. It save a tremendous amount of waste. I am constantly amazed at how much waste comes with takeout!
