Our Martial Arts journey began with a movie. While binging on old-but-great movies with my family, in the year that shall not be named, during the beginnings of a global pandemic, we watched “The Karate Kid” (the original from...

  I can only begin to imagine how I’ll feel when my girls are old enough to start school. For now, I am flooded with the thoughts of parents around me. After pouring so much of yourself into your child...

Most mornings, we all need to be out of the house by 7:15.  Many  mornings I am solo while my husband is already at work. That means I need to get 2 kids to 2 places and myself to work by 7:45.

As there are families in this city who live in their vehicles, we should be so grateful as to use our cars just as cars – not as temporary housing.

Make friends with your neighbors who also have kids at your school and share the driving; it’s made all the difference for my neighborhood. And my sanity.
