I remember watching her from the kitchen doorway last night. Our youngest sat on the floor, trying to button their shirt, those tiny fingers working the fabric like a puzzle. The clock ticked toward bedtime, and I could feel the tension in her—that urge to swoop in and help—but she just waited. Just waited, holding […]
Introduction Ever feel like parenting is part magical journey and part unexpected puzzle—especially when it comes to our incredible kids? Watching your child grow is like seeing the world through fresh eyes every day, bursting with excitement and wonder—complete with what could possibly go wrong? moments. Here’s a little secret from our living room: one
You know that quiet after the kids are tucked in? The one where the only light left is the blue glow from their screens. I found myself watching you tonight at the kitchen table, looking at our children’s digital footprints. That’s when I realized the real challenge isn’t the technology itself—it’s how we help them
I saw that quiet exchange tonight. Standing in the kitchen doorway, phone in hand, the glow of your screen lingering on your face. The child was lost in the art of a sprawling day’s adventure, chattering, unaware. When you crossed into the room, that subtle shift happened—the soft exhale that comes with letting go. A

Last week, I watched us pause mid-sentence, finger hovering over a tablet permission screen. What’s this really teaching them? How do we make this safe? we whispered to each other. You know that feeling, right?
There’s something magical about that moment when the house is quiet—the just-right kind of quiet. The kids are asleep, the dishes are dripping, the school bags are packed.

Brushing a strand of hair while smoothing a wrinkled shirt, mouthing the words of reassurance before the kids even noticed. It
We talk about ‘work-life balance’ as if it’s a destination. But I’ve watched you build it every morning, 5:57 AM, assembling the day’s puzzle: lunch prep between emails, gentle reminders that aren’t on your calendar (‘Mommy, I’ll be home by bedtime’), folders tucked into the diaper bag ‘just in case.’ I always thought that phrase
