Your kid wanted a pen pal so badly. The letter finally comes. They rip it open. Read the whole thing. Probably read it again. Then you hand them a blank piece of paper to write back and suddenly— “I don’t know what to say.” 😂 Completely normal. Writing to a pen pal can feel harder […]

"We started writing because we wanted to talk to other parents like us — parents trying to give their kids a slower kind of childhood, parents who think real letters still matter, parents who are figuring it out as they go. Some of the writing here is fiction. Some of it is mine. All of it is meant for you."
