EMBRACING THE JOURNEY OF MODERN MOTHERHOOD
Welcome to "A Captain's Blog," where the parenting stories are as unfiltered as a teenager's social media feed. We laugh at our mishaps, learn from our mistakes, and snag expert advice to navigate the teen maze. It's the go-to spot for real talk, belly laughs, and a hefty dose of "We've got this!" in the wild ride of raising teens.
