A phone I wish I had


Happy Wednesday, Reader!

A few years ago, I remember watching my child walk out the door with a little more independence than I felt ready for.

It was exciting, but if I’m honest, it was also terrifying.

Because raising kids today feels different.

We’re not just teaching them how to ride bikes, make good choices, or be kind.

We’re also helping them navigate a world of texts, social media, online conversations, and things they can accidentally stumble across before they’re emotionally ready.

And as parents, we can’t be everywhere.

We can’t see every conversation.

We can’t monitor every text.

We can’t always know when our kids need help unless they feel safe enough to tell us.

That’s why I love tools that help us stay connected without making our children feel like they’re being watched every second.

The Bark phone was created to give parents a little more visibility and kids a little more freedom.

It helps families create healthy boundaries around technology while still allowing children to grow, learn, and build trust.

Because the goal isn’t to control our kids.

The goal is to protect them while we teach them.

It’s about creating a safety net for those moments we can’t predict and giving ourselves peace of mind in a world that changes faster than we can keep up with.

If you’ve been looking for a way to introduce your child to technology while gifting yourself a "digital tech secretary", I’d love for you to take a look:

Parenting has never been easy.

But we don’t have to figure it all out alone.

With love,

Happy Wednesday, Reader! I realized something about cleaning… It wasn’t the actual cleaning that felt overwhelming. It was the never-ending feeling of it. The dishes would be done… until the next meal. The laundry would be folded… until someone needed their favorite shirt. The counters would be wiped down… until five little hands came through again. And somewhere along the way, cleaning started to feel less like caring for my home and more like a reminder of everything I hadn’t finished yet....

Happy Wednesday, Reader! There are seasons of motherhood when our days feel like they disappear before we even have a chance to catch our breath. The laundry piles up. The dishes multiply. The questions from little voices never seem to end. And somewhere between making lunches, answering emails, breaking up sibling arguments, and trying to keep everyone else’s needs met, we sometimes forget that our own souls need tending, too. I remember moments when I wanted to spend more time in the...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! There are moments as a mom when you realize the little things you do today are shaping your children’s hearts for years to come. Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to have the “perfect” family prayer, the perfect scripture study, or the perfect spiritual lesson that we forget something important… Our kids don’t need perfect. They need consistency in our example. They need to feel that prayer is more than just words we say because it’s part of our routine....
