MOLESKINE:

Last weekend, my 9 year old asked if she could help me gather leaves with the backpack leaf blower. Initially I said no but she kept asking, really wanting to help. So I taught her how to use it & pointed her in the right direction while I used the rake. We ended up working together for ~30 minutes, getting a job done that would have taken me an hour. It was a really cool & unexpected moment to bond with my daughter.

Stay open to opportunities to teach a skill to your kids! (Even when you think you could get it done faster without them).
