Its a place of loud parenting, fierce loving, too much social media, and occasional inner monologues where timeless debates are resolved such as Pro/Con: Caving to PTO Bake Sale Pressure (PRO: Skim the crappiest brownies for myself. CON: Theyre really crappy.)

Its a place of elation, exhaustion, and time whipping past at warp speed. Finally, its a quiet space to consider the girl you were, the mother you are, and the woman you are always becoming.
