    When Your Child Asks the Hard Questions

    Our kids ask us the hard questions. And while some of those questions I dread hearing, I know it’s good that they ask us – hopefully, it means they know we’re safe, that we’ll tell the truth, and that we…

    Lessons From a Middle School Mom

    My oldest recently finished her first year of middle school. It was quite a learning experience – perhaps more for me than for her. There were highs and lows, unexpected surprises and unwelcome obstacles. My husband and I talked about…

    When the Pain Won’t Stop

    Yes, I’m That Mom.

    I let my son wear his turtle shell the other day. In public. Yes, I admit it. I’m that mom. The one who lets her daughter out of the house with a boot on one foot and a sandal on…

    To My Pre-Teen, I’m Sorry

    Dear Pre-Teen, I need to apologize. I did something to you the other day that I’ve tried to teach you over and over and over again not to do. Something that I would prefer never to admit to. I judged…
