What is your communication with other parents, should you call them? I know it is definitely different from when my mom and dad were raising us. It is going to sound pretty funny but when I was a kid, all or most of the moms, would walk us out to the bus stop in the […]
Sitting here thinking about where the time went? I have my first college-bound child. These past few months I have been anticipating this but boy is this hard as she is demanding her independence, and I am asking for her to slow down. Will there ever be a happy medium? This emotion of separation really […]
2020 was a dumpster fire of a year. I mean seriously, if you had told me on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day 2020 what the year would bring, I would have assumed you had too much punch and needed a ride home. I may have passed along the names of some therapists for […]
Today I’m going to share with you an easy to make family friendly recipe. We rarely eat out. I’m always on the hunt for recipes that the kids will actually eat. Logan is pretty picky. One of our favorite is chicken and veggie stir fry. It is super easy and cooks in just a few […]
Being that we are always learning as parents and most of the time learning on-the-go, censorship can be a scary subject because there seems to be little room for error to get it right.

But for the grace of God… There are so many times in my life that I have […]
Burnout can sneak up on moms without any warning. I had no idea I was on the verge of burnout. But then I started running into things… such as cars. It was a rainy afternoon and Target’s parking lot was a circus. I had a million things on my mind (kids’ stuff, work stuff, relationship […]
My Beliefs At what age can you honestly say that your child can handle bullying on their own? When should I step in with friends and bullying? The answer isn’t always clear. In fact, it’s muddy. As a parent, I have very high expectations for the way my kids treat others. This has been one of […]
Social media can be a powerful force of good. Missing persons: found. Charity awareness: raised. Weather alerts: alerted. Disconnected family: connected.
