Middle school has brought real challenges—from academic stress and discipline bias to teacher dynamics and advocacy. This post shares one mother’s honest journey through 7th grade, while also highlighting the value of strong leadership, supportive staff, and the importance of staying grounded in resilience and grace.

This Mother’s Day, we honor every mom navigating motherhood with grace, strength, and love. Whether you're raising littles, caring for aging parents, or doing it all alone, this tribute is for you. You are seen, celebrated, and deeply appreciated. 💛

Caregiving can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re the one holding everything together. In this post, I share my personal journey of navigating caregiving as a single mom with aging parents and no living siblings, and how I’m learning to thrive through it with the help of my support system, faith, presence, and grace. Thriving isn’t perfection—it’s progress, and you deserve to thrive too. 💛
