There is a danger in attending an amazing school like Montessori International College, you can become biased and shiny and spiritual and righteous about education and the best way to support children. While I am often the first to share my love for the school my girls attend, the past year has graciously reminded…
Mother of the year Award
Today was one of those humbling days where mother guilt and shame was an all consuming ocean. I think I took out one of the all time greatest prizes for the mother of the year award! I often share about the richness of navigating blended families. How it’s messy and hard and beautiful all at once.…
