Good Things Shared

I haven't been able to stop thinking about the horrific news from a daycare in Indonesia and every time it crosses my mind, I find tears in my eyes. 💔 😭

​It’s a reminder of how much we trust strangers with our most precious children. While family provides love, daycares involve unknown people—and a child’s life, once damaged, can never be the same. We must research, verify, and trust our instincts above all else.

I have so much respect for working parents because I am a working mom myself, but I truly believe we must ask ourselves First if there is a safer alternative. Childcare isn't just a "mom" thing; it's a parental decision requiring both parents to be involved. We can shift work patterns so one parent is always present, explore remote work, or lean on the love of grandparents.

​If finances are a struggle, it may even be better to wait and save before having a child. A childhood is like a branch—once it is bent or broken, it is never the same. Once those years are gone, they are gone forever. 🛡️❤️

​Career and money can be built later, but our children's well-being should never be at risk. Sometimes financial sacrifices are worth the peace of mind knowing they are safe. Let’s stay vigilant and trust our instincts. 🙏✨
