Let me tell you a story about this girl named Husna who’s our spunky and feisty 6-year-old (though the story is from last year pre-covid when she was still in school).

So about Husna... If I were to say she alone, in many ways, is equal to her three brothers, I wouldn’t be lying. She...

Relationships are messy.

That’s the nature of them.

In all our relationships, we’re constantly having moments of connection and disconnection. That’s ok and normal.

We really want though, that the moments of connection with our kids should far exceed disconnection. When this...

Time to get a bit real here.

 People always ask me how I'm getting so much stuff done.. kids, kids' homeschooling, my grad school (masters), my business/work and to answer this, I want to tell you about a conversation I had yesterday with my doctor.

First of all, why was I even at the...

You hear a sound at midnight in your house and get scared. Fear is an emotion aka chemical event in your body that is happening to make you act. You get up, grab a weapon-ish thing and go look for what's going on. You're ready and armed to keep yourself alive and safe. The fear has pumped...

Some people get very triggered when anything in regards to their childhood is brought up.

Perhaps their childhood is the best time they had in their life. Fair enough. Makes sense.

So pause and think for a second... right now, what is something you're struggling with and feels hard? Not just related to parenthood but anything really.. what has you feeling discouraged, sad or just plain blah?

Now that you know what it is, do you think it would be nice if someone you love...

If I asked you if its ok to break into someone's office to get something you need.. you'd probably say no. Heck no. If I told you I caught an employee of mine sneaking into my office behind my back, you'd say they're not worthy of my trust.. yes?
