Dear mom, You were right. I’m sorry. Thank you. You were right. It’s not until I’m knee deep in my own parenting journey that I stop and reflect on your experiences raising three kids.

You will often find me bustling around town with my kids. Be it the grocery store, the dojo, at the soccer pitch, the coffee shop, or at the playground… I actually like spending time with my boys (most of the time!).
