Parenting Day-to-Day

Being a parent provides endless opportunities for gratitude. We are privileged to witness life unfolding. We have opportunities to see the extraordinary in the ordinary each and every day. Even when it is messy, tedious, or frustrating, parenting has the power to connect us with something larger than ourselves.
