New Courses Coming Fall 2025! ⟶
Looking back at my thoughts from 2009, I cannot help but smile at the journey. Back then, I was just navigating the end of the teen years with my oldest children.

I’m a mom of three boys and seven girls. With my daughters, it’s easy to express love—we chat, paint nails, share stories, and go out for coffee. I understand their world. But with my sons? That’s been more of a learning curve. I remember trying to connect with one of my boys after his first…
