Not a fan of the real snow heading our way? Save the date to come grab a “snow ball” of ice cream at Uptown Dairy in Ankeny, Iowa on January 21st! Also if you need a boost, Coffalo Coffee will be offering Cafe Affogato (espresso poured over ice cream)! #JOYEvent #SnowDay
If you’re looking for some JOY in these winter months…. borrow this fun game from my mom!

Ready to meet them? Here … Read more

It’s not only the support to create these events… but also dreaming about all the connections and Ripple Effect that it will have in 2024. Whether it’s people deciding to utilize each other services… or maybe a new friendship… Maybe it’s a collaboration or a … Read more

We’re doing this a bit differently this year (you may have noticed the pictures) We’re in Europe, taking our kids on their first international trip! London from Christmas and Paris … Read more
From English Crackers, matching PJs, homemade cinnamon rolls (because why not make homemade desserts like the Great British Baking Show when the stores are all closed on Christmas), to grabbing a cider at the pub on Christmas Day, this definitely was one for the record books! #MakingJoyOurJob #HappyHolidaysFromLondon
It’s 2:30 PM in London, and we are headed to Royal Albert Hall for Christmas carols! Merry Christmas
