Welcome to Steph’s Blog

Hello and welcome!

We thought it would be helpful to you to provide a space where you can see the different approaches Rich and I take to parenting, work, and our lives. Our personalities, genders, and length of time being self-employed all vary, which gives us different perspectives.

This past week provided a great example of that. Our youngest daughter started at the “big girl” school. After we dropped her off, Rich broke into a huge grin while I broke into tears. I had warned him that I would cry but he was still a bit perplexed. I had to explain that, for me, the move from preschool was momentous. The baby/toddler phase of child rearing was now done. I’m so proud of Keena and so excited for her but she is officially not a baby or a toddler anymore. He was looking ahead while I was looking back, feeling the bittersweet nature of parenting.

(For those of you with small children, give them an extra hug and kiss today. I know it feels like it is going to last forever, and not always in a good way, when you are in that time but it doesn’t. Really!)
