"If you're waiting until you feel completely ready "If you're waiting until you feel completely ready... that moment may never fully come."

I kept coming back to that idea while reporting this story.

I thought I was writing about a parent's first overnight away from their child.

Instead, I found a story about identity, trust, and learning that readiness isn't always something you suddenly feel. It often grows through the small steps you take along the way.

Thank you to @fermatapsychotherapy, @embodied.mama.therapist, and @confidentlymommin for sharing your expertise, and to @parentmap for publishing my first print feature.

If this is a question you've ever wrestled with, I'd love for you to read the full story.

I recently visited @piattiseattle while working on I recently visited @piattiseattle while working on a feature for @fabulouswashington highlighting their summer spritzers.

Along with trying the seasonal spritzers, I also had the flatbread and sautéed mushrooms while exploring a wine list featuring both Italian and Washington selections. It's always interesting to see how local restaurants bring those different influences together.

It's located in University Village, making it an easy stop if you're planning to do a little shopping afterward or are visiting the University of Washington.

Along with plenty of cheese, they also had local jams, wines, and other local products to browse. Needless to say, we didn't leave empty handed.

We left with cheese curds. They were very squeaky.

As a parent, taking time for yourself doesn't alwa As a parent, taking time for yourself doesn't always come easily. There is always something that needs to get done, someone who needs you, or another item waiting on the to do list.

I recently had the opportunity to experience the Digital Detox Massage at @salishlodgespa

Designed for people who spend a lot of time on their computers, the massage focused on the neck, back, and hands, all places where I definitely carry stress.

Taking time to slow down and simply relax isn't something I do very often, and it was a good reminder that taking care of ourselves matters too.
