A Mexican restaurant with a climbing wall and a daddy-o with the ability to show up every single day with an attentive ear, empathetic heart, and patient spirit. Also servin up fantastic dad jokes since 2012 (or before?). 💗

Pretty much the only way to survive this BLAZIN hot week ☀️. We live right below this hot flat rooftop so our home is a total sauna. Ever since living (and surviving pregnancy) in Cambodia we’ve compared any extreme heat to it: today is Cambodia hot!

We are slowly making our way through Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, and learning SO much. I really appreciate the diversity of careers, ethnicities, accomplishments, abilities and passions in the women represented. Featured here: can you believe 13-year-old Poorna just went right ahead and successfully climbed Everest?? I mean whaaaat. (Just a note that as a pacifist, some of the stories about using force to defeat others don’t especially resonate with me. But I’m a firm believer in reading about things I don’t believe in - I mean how else do we learn and grow - and am glad for the conversations they spark with my kids.). Is anyone else reading through these volumes? Thoughts? #growingglobalreads

Beginning-of-the-week homemade granola bars, pumpkin muffins, watermelon kombucha = snacks for the week. Always trying to find ways to eat healthy and reduce packaging...even though it still feels like we produce so much 🙈. Other ideas of package free snacks? (Besides bananas, which especially in Asia, are clearly the best!)

family hike - complained all the way up, laughed and ran all the way down 🙃. #hikingwithkids #optoutside #nepalwithkids

Our kids don’t get to see our work here in Nepal first-hand very often so I’m always looking for books that teach the basic concepts and values behind our partners’ projects. Why yes, we do have books in our house about revolving goat loans, girls’ education, appropriate technologies, and improving crop production 🤓. My latest find is this one - Keza Paints a Bright Future, by Kenny Burkey and Jill Heisey, published by @hope_intl. The story follows a Rwandan girl, Keza, as her family joins a savings group that allows their community to save enough funds to start their own business. The income her family earns allows her to purchase the uniform she needs to attend school for the first time! I appreciate that there is no pity and no white savior: there is simply a community motivated by their own ideas to see needed change. #growingglobalreads
