Unscrew You Parenting

I was 45 mins late to pick up from school. It was the last day of school, early dismissal, and even though I knew it was early dismissal, well…..I messed up. You WILL mess up. You WILL be imperfect. You WILL disappoint. It's not about avoiding those situations, it's about how you handle it when they happen. In this episode I share my lessons so you can learn from them too.   Follow me on IG where...
