    I've been noticing an interesting common feeling as I've been talking many moms lately. I'm seeing that a lot of us have this sense that we need to be preparing ourselves, our homes, and our families for something. Making educational choices for our kids feels really hard right now because life and the future feels rather uncertain and there's this feeling that even though we are coming out of a pandemic… the world has changed because of it, and things aren't going to be going back to how they were, but we're not sure exactly what the future IS going to look like so we're not really sure how to prepare... We have this feeling that we need to focus on home and having a strong family as institutions seem to be falling apart around us, but at the same time we feel this call to do something about the problems we see from mental health problems to relationship issues to political turmoil...
