Parents, you’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

Or just as likely, we’ve got questions and you’ve got answers.

If I have learned one thing as a mom, it’s time alone with each of my children is of utmost importance.

It is precious and invaluable and doesn’t have to be anything fancy.

The point is to spend quality time alone.
Just us.
No sisters.
No friends.
No dad.
Just us.

This is precious time to regroup and reconnect.

A time to talk over everything we haven’t been able to say.
A time to continue those conversations which were interrupted.
A time to just be and relish in all we love about each other.

This is precious time to regroup and reconnect.

A time to challenge a difference of opinion.
A time to ask the really hard questions.
A time to belly laugh until it hurts.

This is precious time to regroup and reconnect.

A time to finalize schedules.
A time to laugh at silly jokes and videos saved.
A time to mourn hurt feelings.

This is precious time to regroup and reconnect.

This is time to discuss the real, the raw and the realities of life and the journey ahead.
This is a time to share experiences with pure honesty, it brings tears to my eyes.
This is a time to connect through personal experiences while supporting and loving one another.

This is precious time to regroup and reconnect.

Friends, this sweet girl is one date I will never stand up. She deserves my full and utmost attention and love.

May our dates continue throughout our journey of life, allowing us to always find a way to regroup and reconnect.
