Frog’s Leap. AI-Generated.
Frog’s Leap Sometimes I close my eyes and I am there again—at Frog’s Leap, my grandparents’ cabin tucked into the edge of a small lily-pad filled lake, where the pines lean toward the water as if trying to touch their own reflection. The air smells of pine, sun, and lake water, and for a moment, it feels like time slows, like the world pauses to let me breathe in the memory.

The Kingdom of Crumbs. AI-Generated.
The Kingdom of Crumbs How Parenting Mirrors the Monarchy in Ways We Never Expect Every morning, before the sun stretches across the curtains, I take my place on the throne not a gilded seat in a palace, but a kitchen chair dusted with toast crumbs and shredded cheese.

I am ruler, advisor, protector- and I am tired.

The Eldest Daughter. AI-Generated.
What does it mean to be the eldest daughter in a family? It means you are the first—the first to walk paths unpaved, the first to stumble so others might find their footing. You are the experiment, the blueprint, the living prototype. Your parents learn how to parent through you. Through your growing pains, they learn patience. Through your rebellion, they learn forgiveness. Through your laughter and joy, they learn the power of presence, the fragility of innocence, and the fleeting nature of childhood.

Forever Young. AI-Generated.
Sailing on Forever Young There’s a rhythm to summer on Lake Huron that never leaves you—the wind tugging at the sails, sunlight sparkling on water, the gentle sway of a boat cutting through the waves. I remember stepping onto Forever Young as a little girl, my younger sisters at my side, grandparents guiding and laughing, and my parents checking the lines with quiet satisfaction. Everything else fell away: the lake, the sky, the smell of fresh air, and the endless freedom of being afloat.
