About Me

I am a not yet 55 year old woman married for 25+ years, 4 kids, 1 dog and 1 cat. The kids are beginning to leave home. One is launched, one is in college and 2 are still at home. As a couple we are entering the final stage of our parenting journey: the teenage years and beyond. We are starting to dream and think and plan for those years when the house is quiet and it is just us once again. Please join me as I explore what it means to grow older with adventure and grace.

An extra Thank You to Carol at She Live. Carol, your comment was so helpful.

“Questions can be powerful. It requires the other person to articulate what needs to happen so you don't have to and helps them internalize the information.”

This is an approach I have not tried in parenting semi-adults. It invited their participation! There is a novel idea.

It sounds like you lived through a week of no complaining. I am not sure that I would be able to!
