When Worry Creeps In: Navigating Doubts in Marriage and Parenthood

Lately, my husband has been opening up about a fear that’s been weighing on him—he’s worried that I might end up resenting him. It’s something I never expected to hear, but it made me realize how much pressure we both feel as parents and partners. We’re juggling so much—kids, work, and our own dreams—that sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of each other. I reassured him that love isn’t about perfection, but about showing up, even when things get tough. Has anyone else felt this way in their marriage?

Is This Chaos Really What Parenting Is All About?

Some days, I look around at the mess, the endless snack requests, and the wild energy of my little ones and wonder—Is this what life is supposed to be with small children?

But then, in the middle of the chaos, there’s a giggle, a sticky hug, or a sleepy whisper of "I love you." Somehow, those tiny moments make the hard days worth it. I’m learning to embrace the unpredictability and find joy in the little things. How do you survive the whirlwind of life with small kids?

When Your Child’s Pain Becomes Your Own: A Mom’s Heartache

Today, my heart feels shattered for my 10-year-old daughter. Watching her struggle with disappointment and sadness is one of the hardest parts of being a parent. I wish I could shield her from every hurt, but I know these moments are part of growing up. Still, it’s so hard to see her beautiful spirit weighed down by things out of her control. I try to remind her (and myself) that it’s okay to feel sad, and that we’ll get through it together. Sometimes, all we can do is hold them close and let them know they’re not alone. Have you ever felt helpless watching your child go through something tough?

Navigating Out-of-State Weddings With Little Ones: Our Family’s Dilemma

We just received an invitation to an out-of-state wedding, but there’s a catch—it’s not kid-friendly. With a 3-year-old and a 4-month-old, my heart is torn. Part of me longs to celebrate with loved ones, but the logistics of traveling without our kids (or finding trustworthy care far from home) feel overwhelming. The thought of missing out on family moments tugs at me, yet so does the idea of leaving our little ones behind. Has anyone else faced this kind of decision? How did you handle it? I’d love to hear your stories and advice! #FamilyJourney #ParentingChoices #FaithInFamily #TravelWithKids #Parenting

When Your College Daughter Goes Silent: Navigating the Quiet Moments

I’m learning to trust the process and give her space, even when it’s tough. Have you experienced this quiet distance with your college kids? How do you cope with the waiting?
