    Are We Raising A More Fragile Generation Accidentally?

    01/19 /No Comments

    My generation (X and older Y’s) was the last that learned to play in the street. We were the first to play video games, the last to record songs off the radio onto a cassette tape.

I am guilty of many of the below and have had to take a huge step back and evaluate the emotions each of these provoke. Comparison: Be it in my family life or work life I have learned to stop comparing. What kind of mama am I in comparison to..? How is my blog in comparison? Maybe if I just do this the way Sally with 1MM followers does it, I will gain more. These are all conversations I had to stop having with myself. We all have our own parenting styles…
