Kristin, I have no words to describe how beautiful this is. I love the way you write and the things you say. I’m not a parent but I can only begin to imagine how overwhelming it must feel at times. Thanks for sharing this beautiful essay.

Thank you SO MUCH!!! Thank you for reading and thank you for your support! Parenting can feel overwhelming so often! It’s definitely the most rewarding and most challenging thing I’ve ever done!

I'm going to have to remember this for when my kids get to the point where they can do more things on their own. Enjoyed reading this, even the tough parts.

Thank you AJ! Yes, definitely start teaching them as soon as they can do things. I fear I really missed the boat on that and am playing a lot of catch up!
