With modern day living being completely different from generations past, many of us become parents with little practical guidance in light of how things are today.
At least, that’s how life was for me and my husband when we became parents.
I was already extremely busy building my career with aspirations of eventually starting my own business when we took the advice we’d heard so many times before: “There’s no best time to have a baby. So just have a baby when (and if) it feels right.”
So before I knew it, I was a mother of 2 young precious people and I struggled to make quality time for them let alone myself.
I also lived in conflict with how the world would often make me feel I had to live my life. That is, one that still valued fierce competition, perceived learning as a luxury, and kids stuff being well, “kids stuff”.
This was not the world I wanted my kids to grow up in. So I committed to making a change.
But where to start? Life was so busy.
So I asked the experts: I asked my kids.
