We're Celebrating Special Interests, Eating Out, and Our Family Trees!
3 helpful articles I've written for parenting publications that you may have missed, and some encouragement!
Happy July!
Parents, you can help me turn this blog into the community you need and deserve…
At the end of this quick survey, look out for a little gift I’m offering for your trouble!

Today Ocean and I are headed to Pokémon Go Fest NYC, and we’re so excited!
We’re fully immersed in summer (northern hemisphere bias) and at least here in the US, they don’t make it easy on parents. So I just want to drop a quick note to say you’re doing a good enough job of parenting. 😉
Just being part of this community means you have a huge advantage over parents who are stuck on the hamster wheel of holding it all together while denying their basic needs, and parents who are completely isolated and stuck in a shame spiral. Both of these are nervous system survival responses. Do you recognize your default mode?
We all have our ups and downs. But in case no one has told you lately, you’re an incredible parent!
Keep on giving yourself grace and being your authentic self while celebrating your kids’ small wins - and your own!
Yeah, we can always learn more, but take it easy on yourself.
It’s your summer too!
