Why I Sometimes Snack Off My Kids’ Plates (And Why You Should Too!)

Here’s a little PSA for all the parents out there: every now and then, try eating or sipping from your child’s silicone plate or cup. I started doing this after a friend mentioned it, and it’s been surprisingly eye-opening. Not only does it give me a sense of what my kids are experiencing—like if their food is too cold, too hot, or just not that tasty—but it also reminds me to slow down and share those small, everyday moments with them. Plus, it’s a fun way to connect and show them that their things matter to us, too. Have you ever tried this? I’d love to hear your thoughts or stories in the comments below! #ParentingJourney #FamilyConnection #MindfulParenting #EverydayMoments #Parenting

Is There Really an Age Limit for Snuggling With Our Kids?

How old is too old for snuggling? As my oldest hit double digits, I started to wonder if our nightly cuddles would soon fade away. But last night, after a tough day, he quietly slipped onto the couch beside me and rested his head on my shoulder. In that moment, I realized that the need for comfort and connection doesn’t have an expiration date. Whether they’re toddlers or teens, our kids crave that safe space where they can just be themselves. Maybe the real question is: How can we keep those moments alive as they grow? I’d love to hear your thoughts—do your older kids still snuggle? Share your stories below! #ParentingJourney #FamilyConnection #EmotionalWellbeing #ParentingTeens #Parenting

Why I Choose to Lean In When My Child Cries for Attention

Today, my 4-year-old started crying—loudly, dramatically, and for what seemed like no real reason. It was clear he just wanted my attention. Instead of brushing it off or telling him to stop, I decided to give him exactly what he needed: my full presence. I sat down, pulled him close, and listened. His tears slowed, his breathing calmed, and soon he was telling me all about his day. Sometimes, our little ones just need to know we’re really there for them, even when their requests come wrapped in noise and tears. Have you ever responded to a cry for attention with extra love?
