Something is shifting. Across the country, more parents are stepping back from the mainstream education system, not because they don’t value learning, but because they’re questioning how and where it’s happening.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, ashamed, behind, or just plain confused—you are not alone. And more importantly, you are not […]

When I became a mom, I had the best intentions. No screens before age two. No background noise. Just wooden toys, Montessori shelves, and slow, present living. But life has a way of humbling you. After I broke my leg (with three kids under five ) I leaned hard on the TV to survive. It […]

Three kids. One meal. Someone’s crying, someone’s gagging, and someone else is dipping broccoli in milk on purpose. If that sounds like your kitchen table, you’re not alone. Feeding toddlers isn’t just messy — it’s a sensory experience. And for kids between 1 and 3 years old, sensory processing can play a major role in […]
