When I became a teenager, my mom realized that she needed to be more involved and accessible for my three sisters and I, so she sold her beauty salon in a town about 20 minutes from our house and opened another right in our home. It gave her the flexibility to be ab ... Read more...
When I became a parent, I made a promise to myself that my kids would be kids, playing outside daily and enjoying the messiness that comes with it.
But then came the day when I found out my oldest son, Jake, was accepted into an accelerated fourth grade learn ... Read more...
Every child, no matter what age, should have goals. And yesterday, my fourth grade son reminded me of that.
My son mentioned to me that he had a class assignment where he needed to come up with a goal that he could achieve by the end of the school year. As s ... Read more...
“Stop bullying my kid!” are words I never thought I would say. Especially since three (out of four) of my children are only elementary school age. But I have. And with saying those words, I experienced a great sense of worry for my children’s safety.
