Being Present This Holiday Season (See what we did there?)

As the year draws to a close, we’re reflecting on all the ways parents have navigated the challenges and joys of raising children in 2024. We celebrate the small moments that often go unnoticed—the late-night talks, the everyday triumphs, and the laughter that fills our homes.
