Huddle Up!

In my last blog I talked about the Family Adventure Weekend we attended at the Wright Leadership Institute. I shared about one of the assignments we gave ourselves that we did that first night back. We also came up with one we would do every day for a month. It is called the Family Daily Huddle. We picked a time, 7:45pm, where we would gather if we are together or get on the phone if we are apart to share briefly about our day. We have been doing it for over 3 week now. A few night we all completely forgot, but we are trying to be forgiving of ourselves given it is a new habit. On the days we have done it, it has been really cool. Some have been quick like a minute each while others we took longer asking questions as people shared. Our girls are 10 and 13 and we all lead busy lives so, in the past, it was not uncommon for us to barely talk in a day. So far this has helped us feel more cohesive and connected on a daily basis. Another thing that is neat is that on days we have actually all been together, like on a weekend day, we still did it and found out more about how the day was for each other even though we had been together – very cool!
