We live in a time where the world feels heavy. The headlines are exhausting, the pace of change is relentless, and conversations in our communities remind us daily of job loss, burnout, and uncertainty. With so much happening around us and inside of us, it’s no surprise that many of us find ourselves longing for a break.

But here’s the real question: do you need a vacation or a reset?

It’s tempting to use these words interchangeably, but they serve very different purposes. Knowing which one you actually need can make the difference between coming back just as drained as before, or truly feeling restored.

Sometimes, a weekend like this does more for your spirit than a five-day getaway ever could.

In seasons like the one we’re all in, where the world feels like it’s burning and the noise never stops, it’s essential to know what kind of restoration you need. Vacations are wonderful, but resets may be the overlooked key to longevity, peace, and clarity.

The next time you feel drained, ask yourself: Am I longing for a break, or am I craving a recalibration?

Your answer might just change everything.

Breathing is automatic. It’s something we don’t give much thought to, but how we breathe can impact everything from sleep to oral health. If you tend to breathe through your mouth, especially during sleep, you’re not alone. Mouth breathing is incredibly common, yet it can quietly contribute to a host of health issues, particularly when it comes to your teeth and gums.

In this article we explore why mouth breathing matters, how it affects your oral health, and why your choice of toothpaste, like the oral microbiome-friendly formulas from Fygg, can help protect and restore your mouth.

Mouth breathing might seem like a small issue, but its impact on your oral and overall health is anything but. From disrupted sleep to dental problems, it adds up. Awareness is the first step, but real change comes from support, both medically and with your daily habits.

Last year, I shared a milestone that was both exciting and emotional for our family: my son Braxton starting Pre-K for the very first time. If you missed that story, you can read it here.

This year, we’ve hit another milestone, Braxton has officially started Pre-K 4. And let me tell you, what a difference a year makes! The growth, changes, and even the challenges we’ve seen over the past year have been eye-opening.

Growth We’ve Seen

In just one year, Braxton has blossomed in ways we couldn’t have imagined.

• Advanced vocabulary: His teachers continue to remark on how well he communicates. We’ve always been intentional about speaking to him in full sentences and encouraging conversation, and it shows. He comes home using new words and phrases daily, and sometimes even surprises us with how articulate he’s become.

• Confidence in the classroom: Last year, he was the “new kid” navigating school for the first time. This year, he’s stepped into the role of class leader. He’s more comfortable, more vocal, and even helps his younger classmates when he can.

• Love of learning: From storytelling to counting games, Braxton has fully embraced the joy of learning. It’s such a gift to watch his curiosity unfold in real time.
