It seems the idea of self-care is a popular one. You can browse Pinterest, any website, or magazine that targets women, and I guarantee you that you will find an article on the importance of taking care of yourself. Taking time for yourself and making yourself a priority is always being marketed to women. It’s […]
It’s OK To Be the Hero in Your Own Life Even If Others Don’t Approve
“But, I wish I wasn’t this way. I wish I could just not think the way I do. Go back to how it was before. I have felt upset with myself for wanting to do this. For wanting to change and leave it all behind”, I said today to my therapist. He said, “Maybe I’m […]
Becoming the “Good Enough” Mother
I found myself listening to an audiobook where development and attachment were being discussed. I keep being drawn back to attachment ideas, and how it impacts our own development.

I don’t mind raising a quitter. Sometimes I let my kids quit. Sometimes I even encourage it. It seems like modern parenting makes us believe that it’s suddenly the responsibility of the parent to figure out what their child would be passionate about at the ripe old age of three years old.

Parenting Is Full Of Doubts
We are all doubting our decision about school right now. It doesn’t matter if you’ve decided to go all in and homeschool, if you’re doing a hybrid, a pod, or have sent your kids back in 100% to public school (like us.) We all have our doubts about our decisions. This is a hard time. […]
