Ten Tips for Traveling with a Toddler
I always thought it was important to take my child everywhere even when they were very little. I wanted to expose them to everything and teach them from an early age how to behave and enjoy new experiences. Those experiences included traveling with my children, but for some reason I didn’t travel out of the country with them until they were at least six. As a French teacher, I traveled often to France with students or family because I needed to immerse myself to improve my la

Motherhood
Behind the voice of motherhood A million strong of precious good The most amazing group to walk this earth Endowing life, the gift of birth. Blessed are they, to carry such power A fierceness that only a mom can endower From newborns to toddlers, teens and beyond Their wings stretch with them, an iridescent bond. No matter how tough the road is to travel They power through with their children as their lives unravel The bumps and the potholes and the trials of life They twist

The Moments That Mattered As A Parent
I know the power of sharing experiences. We often feel that we are alone in our struggles, and as parents, we frequently ask ourselves if we made the right decision. Hearing the experiences of other parents is helpful, whether those experiences reinforce the feeling that we did something right, offer us alternatives for next time, or help us laugh at situations.

Learning to Fly
God, I love my kids. They are my life! But now they have reached their twenties and it's time for me to let go. Completely. This is so very hard, especially after being a single parent for so long.

I have to stop worrying about feeding them, picking up after them, worrying about them w
