We squeezed in a vacation a week after school ended. I say “squeezed” because it came on the heels of those crazy last few months of school and spring sports, and we had to hurry back for the year-end gymnastics show.

Self-advocate and boundaries are terms often used and misused in schools, friend groups, and social situations. But what does advocating for yourself mean? What are healthy boundaries, and how do we teach them to our children?

One of the most challenging things for a parent to handle is when their child experiences pain. Whether it be a skinned knee or bumps and bruises from learning to ride a bike, a parent wants to take away any discomfort.

As kids grow up, we cannot always protect them. Heartbreak after a relationship is one of those experiences.

I have been thinking about motherhood and relationships a lot lately. What that means, and what that looks like for other women.

You truly do not know what someone else has experienced – until you take the time to ask.

I don’t want to be the angry parent, shouting at our kids to behave, attempting to out-loud them to get them to comply.

Too often, I am that parent, and I regret it.

I pulled into my sister’s driveway and outside of the car I crouched down and combed Riley’s hair with my hand and I watched his face, his eyes. Neither of us said anything, we didn’t need to.

We have all answered our kids’ requests to spend time at another child’s house with, “But I don’t know the parents.”

All of a sudden my children have opinions and friends outside of the ones I have chosen. And plans. Kids make so many plans.
