Raising Our Littles in a New Generation of Modern Motherhood

Fresh off the heels of Mother's Day, I spent some time reflecting on who I was before I was "Momma". (It even inspired me to write this piece about my mom before she was a mom.) I became a mother over five years ago, although sometimes it feels like much longer.

Get Inspired with Inspirational Nursery Rhymes

My oldest is fiercely brilliant and capable. He's imaginative and creative. He's resourceful, depending on his mood. He also has what I call "a hard personality."
