Personal Development
Introverts vs. Extroverts 🙈
Introverts and extroverts are like two sides of a coin. Introverts usually enjoy spending time alone or with a small group of friends. They like quiet activities and deep conversations. Extroverts, on the other hand, love being around people and get energized by socializing.
Why It’s Good to Know Your Type:
Better Self-Understanding: Knowing if you're an introvert or extrovert helps you understand what you need to feel happy and energized.
Improved Friendships: Understanding different personalities can help you get along better with others.
More Fun and Productive: When you know your type, you can choose activities that suit you best, making everything more enjoyable.
Tips for Introverts:
Make Time for Yourself: Schedule quiet time to recharge. Activities like reading, drawing, or taking a walk can help you feel refreshed.
Build Close Friendships: Focus on making a few deep, meaningful friendships instead of trying to be friends with everyone.
Balance Social Activities: Don’t overdo it with social events. Mix them with alone time to stay balanced and happy.
Learn to Say No: It’s okay to say no to plans if you need some alone time. Protect your energy!
Tips for Extroverts:
Be Social: Make time for activities where you can be with others. Join clubs, sports teams, or go to social events.
Stay Active: Get involved in exciting activities that keep you moving and engaged, like dancing or volunteering.
Make Lots of Friends: Use your love of socializing to build a big network of friends. It’s great for personal and school life.
Find Quiet Moments: Even extroverts need a break sometimes. Make sure to have some quiet moments to avoid feeling worn out.
Overall, both introverts and extroverts have amazing strengths. Celebrate your unique qualities and thrive in your own way!

Planning Family Movie Nights 📽️
Undoubtedly, family movie nights are a great way to hang out together and have fun. But note that movies can do more than just entertain us. They can help us learn and think.
Watching films that deal with important topics can start conversations about things that matter. Let’s look at some movie suggestions and tips to make your movie nights awesome and meaningful.
Movies That Spark Conversations:
Inside Out (2015): This animated film is all about emotions and mental health. It’s a great way to talk about feelings and why it’s important to express them.
Wonder (2017): Based on a popular book, this movie talks about kindness, acceptance, and bullying. It’s perfect for discussing how to be nice and respect others.
Coco (2017): This colorful movie explores Mexican culture and the importance of family and traditions. It can help you talk about different cultures and why traditions matter.
Zootopia (2016): This fun movie addresses stereotypes and inclusivity. It’s great for talking about diversity and why it’s important to treat everyone fairly.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013): This film is for slightly older kids and encourages discussions about following dreams and taking risks.
So grab some popcorn, pick a thought-provoking movie, and enjoy the great talks that follow. Lights, camera, conversation!

The Steady Home’s Guide to Cooking From Scratch
Lemony Bliss Bites 🍋
Project Overview: For those looking for a delicious and healthy snack that’s easy to make, this issue is for you! Lemony Bliss Bites are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while keeping it nutritious.
What You'll Need:
1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
3 tablespoons maple syrup
Zest of 1 large lemon
Juice of 1 large lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Optional: extra shredded coconut for rolling
Steps to Make Your Lemony Bliss Bites:
Prep Your Ingredients: First, gather all your ingredients and set up your workspace. This is a great time to let the kids help measure out everything. It’s like a fun, edible science experiment!
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut and almond flour. Stir them together until they’re evenly mixed. This is a fun part for the kids – they can use their hands to mix!
Add the Wet Ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the dry ingredients. Stir well until the mixture forms a sticky dough. If it’s too dry, add a bit more lemon juice or a tiny splash of water.
Shape the Bites: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut. If you like, you can roll these bites in extra shredded coconut for a lovely finish.
Chill and Set: Place the Lemony Bliss Bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let them set and firm up.
Store and Enjoy: Once they’re firm, transfer the bites to an airtight container. Keep them in the fridge for a refreshing snack anytime you need a quick pick-me-up. They’re perfect for school lunches, after-school snacks, or a light dessert.
Gather your ingredients, get the family involved, and enjoy these tasty, zesty bites that everyone will love. Happy snacking!
