Back to School
We all learn from new things, and the freedom of summer gives us opportunities to see and do more before we move to the structure of fall.

These are some of our favorite pieces of baby/parenting advice from friends…pre-baby.
Each of our kids – at every age – needs to learn how to control their emotions, and when we put them in time out or give them breathing room to re-set their attitude, we are showing them how to handle big things.
Who we are on vacation is often the best version of ourselves. Be that person in real life!
When you choose anticipation over comfort, you will stay engaged, inspired, and motivated, and your life will be bigger, more exciting, and more fulfilling than you hoped.
Sometimes, the biggest “teachable moments” in life come not from what we can teach our children, but from what they can teach us.
All of us have busy lives, and sometimes we all just need to take some time to sit down and enjoy each other. In our house, family dinner is that down time.
Summer parenting means you have to feed the kids regular meals and snacks, keep track of the extra summer camps and sports, and try to mediate when they can’t stand being in the same room for more than 20 minutes at a time!
Parenting is relentless. Love every minute – it goes by fast!
The choice to stay home and be the primary parent has been hard, but I wouldn’t change it for the world!
