I've been lucky this month to have a lot of family time on the calendar. All four of my kids, their significant others, and their kids were in town for Father's Day. We had a full house here in Dayton, and my two oldest grandchildren loved playing in the sprinkler and hopping along the stepping stones in the backyard. It reminded me why we do what we do: the outdoor spaces we create are the backdrop to some of the best moments.
We had another family weekend planned this weekend, with our annual trip to my mother-in-law's house in Chicago. Watch this video for my thoughts on this trip and what you should be thinking about for your business this week:
Taking a long weekend away from the business to remember what's important and destress a little bit has been good for me, and I'll be back to the grind tomorrow morning. It was also a good reminder that breaks don't have to be elaborate or expensive: sometimes a little road trip to see family is all you need.
Happy 250th Birthday, America! I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July as much as we did.
