Quotes to ponder:

"Parenting can feel like incredibly hard work at times, but it can help to remember that the parenting journey is not primarily about our comfort. It’s about learning to love, about helping our children identify the gifts they are meant to bring to the world, and about doing our own growing up along the way."
