On this beautiful Tuesday, I'm thrilled to introduce our August 2025 cover family, the Thoeles—Chris and Lauren of Bartelso. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Lauren, whom I've known for some time, has always had a warm smile and a heart full of kindness. 😊 Now she and Chris are raising two delightful little girls, Lo and Viv, spending countless hours at their village playground 🛝 soaking up life with those precious girls before they grow up too fast.

I’m inspired by how they balance busy careers—Lauren supporting missions at Scott Air Force Base, Chris navigating long days on the road—with cherishing slow family moments, date nights, hobbies, and the support of a close-knit community around them. 💛

Enjoy this special month☀️-- as summer slowly fades to fall and pool time gives way to pencils and paper.
