... Read moreSlow mornings often offer the perfect quiet time to pause and reflect on the seemingly small moments that fill our days. As a parent, I’ve noticed how the routine of school drop-offs can feel so ordinary in the moment, yet it’s those exact minutes that I find myself missing the most when my children grow older. During these drop-offs, there’s a mixture of emotions — pride, hope, and a hint of sadness knowing these days won’t last forever. From my experience, embracing these moments with mindfulness makes all the difference. I try to focus on the little things: the way my child’s laughter echoes as he hops out of the car, the cheerful wave goodbye, and even the quiet car ride back home where I gather my thoughts before starting my day. These small snapshots build a treasure trove of memories that I revisit often. Many parents I know share this journey of balancing the hustle of life with the desire to slow down and truly appreciate their children’s growth stages. The phrase "Slow Morning Reflections" perfectly captures this sentiment — a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and cherish the here and now. If you’re navigating the busy rhythms of #momlife or identifying as a #boymom, find comfort in knowing you’re not alone. Each day, however routine, is a unique part of your parenting journey. So next time you’re walking your child into school, take a moment to soak it all in. These are the days you’ll want to remember — simple, precious, and filled with love.

Funny enough. all my professors post lectures notes which are usually enough for the entire course. And the only time I have ever bought a book was for an open book course, so obviously you need it for the test. Then I go on the interwebs and find one that's ~5 years old and buy it for $20-30.
