We share candid stories about the challenges of postpartum depression and the surprising hurdles even seasoned parents face. With a focus on grace, adaptability, and the power of faith, we emphasize teaching children to seek help from God in any situation through prayer. Our conversation is sprinkled with practical tips, like the simple joy of using paper plates to save time, reminding us that not everything needs to be perfect in our parenting journey.
