If you are a millenial, you may feel where I’m coming from with this post. We have all reached the age, and our parents have reached the age, where the roles are beginning to reverse. Before you realized it, you have found yourself telling your parents what they should or should not be doing, what…

‘Twas the Night Before Virtual School…
So, tomorrow begins a new journey, and it’s almost as nerve wrecking as the first day I sent Kynnedy to daycare when she was six weeks old. This school year is definitely not like others. The jitters are still there; but this time, there’s a level of anxiety and question about just how successful this…
What Happens When your Child Plays Favorites?
So, a couple weekends ago, my daughter was very sad about something. She is so much like me that it is almost irritating, because I constantly asked her what was wrong and she would say “nothing”, even though her face clearly was singing a different tune. I didn’t want to badger her; but I needed…
The Toughest Conversation I Couldn’t Navigate With My Daughter
My daughter, as precocious and curious as she is, wastes no time asking question when she doesn’t understand something. She will sit in front of you, glasses placed slightly down on her nose, with scrunched up eyebrows and a perplexing look, and “why” and “what if” you to death. Even with my full mommy armor…
Happy Birthday.

My Daughter Wanted a Doll that Didn’t Look Like Her; Here’s How I Responded.
My daughter and I made a promise. Two weeks ago, she saw a doll in Walmart that she wanted, but didn’t get at the time. Now, of course, she thought that she could ask for it the next day and receive. I told her no and made a deal that if she had a good…
Big Girl Moves!
When you have children, you never know what to cherish; what moments to etch into your memory, what silly things to photograph or put on video, or what things you should never take for granted. As parents, we try to make everything a lasting moment, but sometimes that’s not possible. Today, I had a brief…
Parenting Moment: The Kid Takes on Pre-K!
On 8/6/18 , I woke up, got Kynnedy ready, and dropped her off at her first day of Pre-K. She was full of life and confidence; I, internally, was a mess. I couldn’t help but stay in constant prayer all the way to the school that morning. I had to make sure that if God…
