Today we tackled a highly requested episode all about our family values, forming our family mission statement and why this is so important to do as a family unit. The topic of family values is so important to us so it was fun to dive into this one. Working toward a common goal (or mission statement) as a family is a great way to foster unity and add purpose to each moment. We hope this episode inspires you to sit down and reflect on what’s most important to your own family!
