    From Overwhelm to Confidence: Setting Practical Expectations for the New School Year

    The start of the new school year is upon us. The long lazy, days of summer are ending. It is time to shift away from our night owl, vampire tendencies and become functioning members of society again. I have a confession. My house is not ready for this change, and it is going to be ...

    Lord, Please Allow Me One Normal Unextraordinary Day

    During my youth, planning my future was a full-time job. I dreamed of every detail. I knew I wanted to be a mother. God’s plan was never in doubt for me. I created timelines in my head for my perfectly normal life. The straight path we would follow. Instead, we are on a twisty, dark ...

    On Being a Step-Parent

    I have a tough job. Many say it’s the most difficult job out there. It’s demanding. It’s time-consuming. It’s thankless. And I don’t mean my career. I’m a parent.  Well, I’m a step-parent.

    Why School Absolutely Does Not Function as a One Size Fits All

    Raising kids comes with a myriad of decisions. What foods to eat? Which soap to use? What toys to play with? Use technology or not? The list goes on and on. Before I had children, I thought your child turns five, you send them to school, and that is where the decision-making ends. School is ...

    Pandemic Parenting – Why We Gain And Lose In The Era Of Covid-19

    The world is coming up on an anniversary. In March 2022, it will be two years since the world shut down. I remember it as if it was yesterday. Government officials said in two weeks, we would be getting back to normal, don’t panic; we only need to flatten the curve. Two weeks became two ...

    The Big Stretch Of Motherhood

    Motherhood is all about stretching. Your body, your heart, your patience, your understanding, your compassion, your boundaries, and your capabilities—all stretch to accommodate the addition of fresh life you are meant to raise. The augmentation to every facet of your being sometimes feels like stretching cold muscles; it hurts. Shame and guilt lurk in corners ...
