Parenting the children we have

I’ve been so focused on helping my oldest two learn and practice executive functioning skills, that I’ve not paused long enough to pay attention to what they already know how to do.

Riding the waves

We’re a sports family now! It’s a whole new thing for us.

Finding our flow in the first days of school

Yesterday the first day unfolded as you might imagine. We had a few hiccups, there were moments of surprise and nostalgia (we have a high schooler!). But in the end, we made it through.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

At some point we collectively decided that neighborhoods weren’t actually places to come together. My neighbor Mrs. Cynthia is changing that narrative.

Ending Well

Probably the most important gift parents can give their kids is the freedom to roam, and the confidence that they can eventually find their way home.

In search of Pura Vida

Though you don’t have to go all the way around the world to find yourself, sometimes the trip helps.

How do you travel?

What do you carry with you when you travel? Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally? What’s in your bag?

Re-parenting Ourselves

I feel like in some ways, I’m having to re-parent myself as an adult because of the what I didn’t learn growing up. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
