I’m writing to ask for your help. 2020 has been tough on people and I know that everyone has had to wear a lot of different hats this year. Here at Destination Imagination (DI), it has also been really tough as we continue to face the loss of a significant portion of our annual operating […]
Maryland Mom ?, DI Donator ?
I am a proud mom of six wonderful children and the Team Coordinator and Team Manager for homeschooling Destination Imagination teams in Charles County, Maryland.

Tiny Hat, Generous Heart ❤️?
As a 6-year-old growing up in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, I remember watching my brother and at his DI team perform at our local tournament. Even in the cold winter months, they seemed to have so much fun solving their chosen DI challenge—making colorful creations, costumes and gadgets. I remember thinking that someday I also wanted […]
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
This year was one that required a bit of teamwork and a whole lot of creativity. As a Secondary Level Destination Imagination team from The Academy of Science and Technology in Woodlands, Texas, we are used to working together to get the job done. DI meetings in a socially-distant world? We got that covered! From […]
Friends & Family Virtual STEAM Challenge: Picture It
The pandemic may be separating us, but storytelling is a powerful tool that can bring us together again.

Get Your Hat Ready!
Have you ever heard the expression, “wearing many hats”? It means that you have several different roles that are different from one to the next. If you are anything like me, you wear a lot of hats during the holiday season. I wear my ‘librarian hat’ when I am reading holiday stories to my students […]
Fall Into a New (Virtual) Season of Destination Imagination
There’s no way to sugarcoat it: Covid cases are surging again around the globe, and many of us are preparing to return to all-remote learning (if we weren’t there already). As parents and teachers, we’re worn out, scared, stressed, and at times even angry and disappointed. It can be a daily struggle, and we can […]
We’re So Thankful For You
2020 has been a year like none that I can remember. Instead of working from my office in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, my office has now been relocated to the sewing room in my home among my quilting fabrics, scissors, rulers and my beloved sewing machine. These days, I spend more time talking to my […]
