Juggling Act
As parents we’re asked to juggle: ALL THE THINGS. Are there any balls in the air that we can allow to drop? Or are they all glass?
Growing Together Through Differences? Yes, Please.
I never avoid conflict. Ever. Why? Because I absolutely LOVE Conflict Resolution!
Connect-Disconnect-Reconnect
In this vulnerable post, I share a little bit about how I’ve moved from connection, through disconnection and back again to reconnection in my couple relationship.
No “Training” Needed
I read this article from the New York Times and let me first acknowledge all of the really great things the author writes about as a new Momma: the need she has to ask her partner for more help, the attempts she makes to encourage her partner to show up and participate as a new […]
