Happy Wednesday, Reader! I almost skipped reading time the other day. It had been one of those afternoons—messy, loud, and longer than expected. But one of my kids brought me a book and asked, “Will you read this with me?” And I hesitated… just for a second. Because I was tired. But I said yes. We sat down, and something shifted. They got quiet. And for those few minutes, we all felt connected again. It reminded me that reading together isn’t just about the book.It’s about presence. If you’re...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! There was this small moment recently that stuck with me. I had been explaining something… probably not very clearly, if I’m honest. And I wasn’t even sure it was landing. Then suddenly, one of my kids looked up and said,“Ohhh… I get it now.” Not because I said it perfectly.But because something connected for them. And it reminded me of something I forget sometimes: kids don’t just need information—they need connection. They need to see it, feel it, and experience it...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! “I’m bored.” I heard it three times before breakfast the other day. And if I’m honest, my first instinct was to fix it.To jump in with ideas, solutions, something to fill the gap. Because as moms, we feel this quiet pressure to make sure our kids are always learning, always doing, always okay. But this time, I paused. Because I’ve started to notice something: boredom isn’t the problem we think it is. It’s actually the beginning of possibility for them. A few minutes...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! Yesterday, we stepped outside for what I thought would be just a few minutes. No big plans. No structured activity. I honestly just needed a breath of fresh air. But then something sweet happened. The kids started noticing things I usually rush past—ants carrying crumbs, the shape of leaves, the way the wind moved the trees. One of them asked a question I didn’t know the answer to… and instead of rushing to Google it, we just wondered together. (Yes, we Googled it...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! This morning started with spilled milk… literally. Half my kids couldn’t find their shoes, the other half wanted an extended weekend, and I stood there in the kitchen thinking, it's a Monday. Have you ever felt that before the day even really begins? I remember leaning against the counter, closing my eyes for just a second, and whispering, “Lord, it's you and me today. I've only got this because you're with me.” And you know what didn’t happen?The house didn’t...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! I've been in therapy for over a year to help me process the death of my marriage. I remember sitting in one meeting saying, "how do you reframe an event when your spouse say's they're going to cause harm to themselves and this isn't the first time they've done it?" Those moments when you visit your memories in your mind and they still take your breath away. They might not hold as much power as they once did, but those moments still feel like a dream. My therapist...
