Today will come and go in a heartbeat. And whether work feels like it lasts 243 hours or 30 minutes, the moments you have with the boys are so fleeting. Slow down for them. The dishes will get done. They are not paying attention to whether the sink is full of dishes or the dryerContinue reading “Dear Future Me: A Letter About Today”

Find Your Gray
I want for my kids, what I think most, if not all parents want for their kids. To raise healthy, happy, well-rounded, polite kids. Willing to stand up and advocate for themselves and others. To not be a bully. To be accepting and kind to all. To set healthy boundaries for themselves. To find aContinue reading “Find Your Gray”

Although now that we have kids, I don’t know how anyone expects any of this. You’re raising these tiny, wonderful, screaming, sweet human beingsContinue reading “Three-Nagers & Mountain Goats”
