#9 really hit for me! Thanks for sharing that quote! Really reminds me of my late beloved grandma, she definitely was our matriarch and I only hope to be a little like her one day ❤️
Both my kids (1+nearly 3) hate baths and I've always just showered with them 😅 fun for everyone -- though I still will do a relaxing solo shower at least once a week.
Kids who hate baths and a mom who can’t stand Raffi! You’ve got some interesting stuff going on Katie!😂 In all seriousness, I can’t imagine anyone not liking Raffi. Please elaborate!😃
#4 was a breakthrough in my parenting. I would get so discouraged by not being able to shower, and then the lightbulb went off: “Wait. I can bring her in here.” It was a game changer when I had a 3-year-old who could be trusted looking at books right outside the bathroom door and a 1-year-old who could not be trusted in any situation whatsoever.
Ahh love it! It’s funny the ways we limit ourselves with rigid thinking. Who says we need to do anything in a certain way? Motherhood will make us creative that’s for sure!😄
Raffi is so underrated! I always think of the “Bumping up and down in my little red wagon” song when we’re having a rough day… “one wheel’s off and the axel’s broken” — yup, that’s us!
(It’s also a really fun song to act out — we used to do that in the General Music class I taught. Little kids just love the action elements of songs like this. It’s built in pretend play).

Love this. Yes it really moved me too.
I'm here as a Raffi fangirl to say YESSSSSSSS

I can't stand Raffi but we'll agree to disagree 😂

And the kids LOVED it! It’s really a win all around.
“I want to die as a matriarch” is big me energy.
Same.

He really is. I can think of how that one goes a bit but it isn't one my kids know! Thanks!
