Are You Managing… or Connecting?

Motherhood can feel like a whirlwind of logistics: meals, messes, transitions, and tiny negotiations — all while trying to hold your home (and yourself) together. In the midst of that chaos, real connection with our kids can quietly slip to the sidelines.

This is why I had to share a simple rhythm that changed everything for me — one that helped me move from managing my children to really connecting with them in the smallest, most sustainable way. No crafts, no guilt, no elaborate plans. Just presence.

The 10-10-10 Rule was a game changer in my home and in my attitude. As someone who often feels like a big grump and micro-manager, this was a small, subtle, and simple shift that finally let me be the fun parent every once in a while without actually having to do anything at all.

✨ Inside the full post:
→ A gentle framework for connection that takes just 30 minutes a day
→ How it’s helped our home feel calmer and more cooperative
→ A mini challenge you can try this week
→ Brain-backed reasons why these moments matter
→ Ideas for adapting it to toddlers, teens, and everything in between
→ The honest before-and-after of what shifted for me when I tried this

This practice has become an anchor habit in our home, and if you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overlooked, or disconnected lately, it might be just the reset you need too.
