I don\’t often talk about my faith or my faith journey. To be honest, I feel so new to it and have felt I needed to learn more, connect more, find a deeper spirituality before I could feel like I had some knowledge.

Why is it that once you have kids, the question \”well, what about socialization?\” pops up all the time? It\’s like once a kid is over four months, this all that people care about.
