April 29, 2025 by Miranda Leave a Comment

This middle part of parenting where my kids aren’t babies any more but they’re also not adults is absolutely rocking my world. Teenagers. I have two teenagers. And you might not think going from one teen to two is a big deal but you would be wrong. The kids? They’re fine. Me? Very not fine. I was…
