4 Tips on Friendships in Motherhood

1. You go first and don't wait for someone to pursue you.
2. Reach out and schedule a time to get together.
3. Be very intentional even if it's just with that one person.
4. Create the community you want one person at a time.

Making friends as a grown-up shouldn’t feel this hard — but it often does.

It takes courage (and plenty of “going first” again and again), but it’s always worth it. Because one day, you’ll look around and realize — you’ve built your people.

At the end of the day, we all just want to be seen, known, and loved — especially as mothers. And sometimes, that begins with one small, brave step forward.

3 High School Rules For Curfew and Location Tracking

1. Location tracking is always on and is not to be turned off.
2. Curfew is discussed and set based on each event individually.
3. If plans change a text or call is expected.

We have used these in our house for two children already and it has worked well.

Unsure where to start with AI?

I started with an AI Academy less than a year ago, which was the best decision I have made.

One baby step at a time. I feel like I'm learning at a pace that I can understand.

I am determined not to be left behind when it comes to AI.

The Double-Edged Sword of Letting Go

I thought this year would just be about letting one child fly the nest to college.
But the baby of the family is now in middle school, and she's changing quicker than I was prepared for. It feels like she spread her wings overnight. She is far more interested in talking to her friends and managing her social life than anything else right now.

It's a normal stage, yes, but having both the oldest leave and the youngest pull away at once is brutal on this mom heart. Letting go is hard but beautiful, a natural progression that is tough nonetheless.

Even though she's pulling away, I know this is the time to lean in, not back. It's vital to stay close during these pivotal years as she figures things out. They still need you, mom, just in radically different ways.

----------------------------------------

Moms, what phase of letting go are you navigating right now?
