Introducing: Oldventures ☕❤️
When you own a small business together, people often assume you spend all your time connecting and making memories.
The truth? Most days, we're making coffee, solving problems, placing orders, washing dishes, answering questions, and putting out little fires. We work side by side every day, but sometimes work can crowd out the simple joy of just being together.
A few years ago, we decided to be more intentional about creating time for each other. We started what we call "Oldventures" — little adventures that help us reconnect, relieve stress, and enjoy life outside of the daily grind.
The rules are simple: once or twice a week, we pick something from our Oldventures list and do it together. Sometimes it's a walk around town, a visit to the farmer's market, playing cards, stargazing, reading together, exploring a new place, or attending a local festival. Nothing extravagant. Just intentional time together.
To keep ourselves accountable, we even made this poster to remind us that the best moments don't have to be big moments.
What we've discovered is that these small adventures have made a big difference. They've helped us stay connected, laugh more, and remember that we're partners in life—not just partners in business.
And honestly, some of our favorite Oldventures happen right here in the coffee shop. A shared pastry before opening, a board game, a good book, listen to music, or simply sitting down together with a great cup of coffee after a busy day.
If you're feeling stretched thin by work, family, responsibilities, or just life in general, maybe an Oldventure is exactly what you need.
What's one small adventure you'd like to take this week?
(And if you need a place to start, we'd love to host your next Oldventure right here with us. ☕)
