We see it all the time. Kids make a commitment to one team and then all of a sudden they aren’t around for practices, but these same kids never seem to miss a game. Then we find out they’ve been missing practice to guest play for other teams. Besides the obvious commitment issue discussion that will need to take place with that family, there is another concern. Arm care.

Gift ideas for team moms, coaches, everyone on your list!

This easy weeknight meal cooks up in less than 30 min and is great in a thermos on the go

This meal is easy to prep and leftovers freeze well. It’s also a great “take along” meal when put in a thermos. Perfect for a healthy weeknight meal for parents/siblings at the field.

Sports in general teach our kids a lot. But baseball is unique. It’s a game of failure, statistically speaking. It’s both slow and fast. Calm and chaotic. “Boring” yet exciting. (Sidebar - I HATE when people call baseball boring…) The game really is a metaphor for life.

When parents and coaches team up to create good, respectful athletes, everybody wins.  It’s a partnership.  Take that seriously, work together, respect each other and, most importantly, respect the process. 

An easy, one-sheet pan dinner that is great for meal prepping and leftovers!

It happens. And if it hasn’t happened yet for you…it will. It’s almost a rite of passage as a baseball parent when you decide it’s necessary to intervene and have a conversation with the coach.

Never underestimate how important you might be in someone else’s life. I’m a firm believer that we meet each other for a reason, and I’m so happy these guys crossed my path. Truth is, they help me as much as I help them.

My goal with this blog and my upcoming podcast is to create a community for us moms to gather, learn, share and grow, all in an effort to create more joy in the journey. Embrace the chaos and focus on what really matters - our kids!
