I honestly was not planning on writing something like this online for a few years now. But here we are. The ugliness of racism and hatred and homegrown terrorism has made its way into the forefront of our news, homes and our hearts. It’s when children of all colors see these things and something changes…

Opening up the digital world, with boundaries
Yes, my 2-year-old son uses my iPad, it’s pretty much his now. My son is taking his time talking. I mean he talks…all the time. I just need to decipher exactly what he’s saying. He just takes his time with his development and I love seeing him grow. When he turned 2, I started to…
