Lately, I find myself navigating the almost-empty-nest season. With one child still in high school, two off at college, and a pair of young adult stepdaughters, my role as a mom has changed—but my heart is still deeply rooted in motherhood. My husband is my everyday hero, and my faith is the anchor that guides my choices. I work with Street Hope TN, an organization close to my heart, and when I’m not focused on our mission, I’m often wondering what my kids are up to! I love connecting with other moms because we all share the same goal: to do our best for our children, no matter what season of life we’re in. So, let’s talk about it all—the joys, the challenges, and even those wonderfully mundane moments that make life so real.
