  • The Legacy We Leave Is So Important

    What a great reminder Jami leaves us with…what will our legacy be? Who do we want our children, our husbands, others around us to talk about should we be gone. Jami is right. Our children won’t remember how clean we wanted the house to be, but they will remember those quiet and joyful moments & memories we have made with them and how important it is to BE that legacy NOW, presently. Thank you Jami for this beautiful reminder.

    Jami’s parenting style has been life changing for our family of 6. Navigating age groups, needs, and this new era of parenting hasn’t been an easy task but Jami’s approach to connection with your children has been an absolute game changer! Highly recommend!
