Welcome to Graceful Parenting
Welcome to Graceful Parenting. This blog chronicles my journey searching for balance and peace in my role as a parent. I’m not a graceful parent already and I’m not an expert in parenting, relationships or spirituality. I’m just an every day parent looking for ways to handle the every day that will lead to trusting, respectful and loving relationships with my children. This blog is dedicated to my daughter Grace, who was born and died on March 31, 2007.
I am accompanied on my journey by my sweet husband, who I’ll call Blue Eyes, my smart and funny 10-year-old daughter, who I’ll call Noel and 3-month-old Baby Girl, Grace’s surviving twin. I invite you to join me on this journey.




“If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do well matters very much.”
Jacqueline Kennedy
It’s such a measureless job but oh, so vital for humanity. I remember this when I’m exhausted. Cool blog, Carol. Rock on.
